Snakes are amongst the most feared and hated predators on earth. And when it is a cobra, one must be extra vigilant as some of them, like the King Cobra’s are so venomous that the amount of neurotoxin they deliver in a single bite is enough to kill a few people. They are also capable of sliding into the trickiest of spots. One such video of a baby cobra holed up inside a woman's shoe has gone viral on the internet. 

''Cobra trying a new footwear. Jokes apart, as the monsoon is coming to a close, please be extra careful,'' reads the caption of the video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) Officer Susanta Nanda on X, formerly Twitter.

The video opens to show a baby cobra hiding inside a woman's footwear. It is also seen raising its hood and hissing at the camera. At one point it also lunges towards the person capturing the video.
