Snakes are one of the most dangerous reptiles on earth. And if it is a King Cobra one needs to be more careful. Recently, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, who is well-known for sharing interesting wildlife content on social media posted a terrifying video of the reptile in which it is seen raising its body and spreading its hood, shocking internet users with its massive height. 

"The king cobra can literally "stand up" and look at a full-grown person in the eye. When confronted, they can lift up to a third of its body off the ground," read the caption of the video shared by Nanda on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
