In search of the King Cobra

Am already seven posts old and I still haven’t posted something on wild life. Well personally am a wild life buff. And I love the shows on national geographic channel, discovery and the most important of all Animal planet. A few days back I had the opportunity to view one of the most exciting shows ever I have seen in my life. Austin Stevens is pretty much a favorite host of mine and this time he is in the jungles of South India Looking out for the most venomous snakes of all time – The King Cobra. The series sets out with Stevens setting out in search of the king Cobra but to his hard luck he is not able to sight even one for almost 50 days. Then there comes the day when he sights the nest of a King Cobra and just as he goes near the nest, the snake pops out from no where and it was blood chilling to see the snake rise up and come towards him. Well, I don’t know what I would have done but Stevens goes ahead touched the Snake on the head and says this was his life time ambition. Wow. But he does not stop with that, he takes the Snake bu the tail. And shows the viewers the amazing length of the Snake. It was the best episode of TV with teeth on Animal planet. If you have missed the episode go to you tube and check for name “In search of the King Cobra” and this video will pop up immediately.
