A video has gone viral that shows a man firing a gun at a snake provoking the serpent to attack.
In the clip, uploaded on Twitter, a man is seen sitting inside his car while holding a gun. He aims the firearm at a cobra snake on the ground and shoots once. The person misses the target while the serpent keeps its head upright and hood spread wide. On being shot at again, the cobra immediately charges at him causing him to panic.
“Don't bring a gun to a cobra fight,” the caption read.
