In a hair-raising incident, a woman was recently seen resting on a cot even as a cobra climbed up her back. A video, shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, showed the snake perched on top of the woman while she remained in the same position and apparently called out for help.
"When this happens, what would be your reaction??" Mr Nanda wrote in the caption while sharing the shocking clip.

A third added, "As far as I know snakes are more afraid of humans than humans are of snakes. I think they will not attack unless they sense a hostile attitude so if possible human should quietly move away or keep still." "That lady did well! Of course drenched in fear but did not panic , didn't threaten the snake in any way ..needs patience ..any sign of threat , snake would have gone for a lil," commented fourth.
The location of the incident is yet to be known.
