The footage depicts three king cobras hissing and expanding their iconic hoods as they coil around a tree trunk, while three men observe from a distance.
Nilesh says the snakes climbed the tree after they were released into the jungle.
‘It was a fascinating sight as they did not run to the grass or burrows.
‘They were һапɡіпɡ on the tree for good 15 minutes.’
