Videos of dogs and cats being petted are always trending on social media, but have you seen a video of a king cobra being petted? One such video is currently trending on social media. King cobras are usually the most feared snakes by humans.

This is the longest venomous snake in India. Since a bite is certain to kill, no one even tries to get close. However, in this video, a person touches and strokes the snake. The video has been shared on an X page with the caption 'A King Cobra Upclose'. Many people have commented on the video.

'I feel scared because the snake is coming so close', 'What is this? How is he petting this snake', 'I can't see the king cobra this close anymore', 'It is the most venomous snake in the world', 'I get scared just by looking at it', 'How is this done', 'Is this a king cobra that is kept at home?', 'I got scared for a moment', 'Can I tame and raise a king cobra like this', - these are the comments.
