A video has gone viral showing a man firing a gun at a snake provoking the snake to attack.
The clip, uploaded to Twitter, shows a man sitting in his car holding a gun. He aims the firearm at a cobra snake on the ground and shoots once. The person misses the target while the snake holds its head upright and its hood wide open. When the cobra is fired upon again, it immediately charges at it, causing it to panic.
“Don’t bring a gun to a cobra fight,” the caption read.
