The King Cobra isn’t merely a snake eater, despite its common moniker. While snakes are its primary prey, it will also catch and consume lizards. When Gopal Bansal and Ajay Giri came upon a gigantic king cobra, a monitor lizard, that’s exactly what occurred.

When Rajesh and his older brother Naresh arrived at the Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand, they were met by a torrential downpour. “We saw the first monsoon rainfall on the first day.” The next day, it rained fiercely once more.
