Is this the last meal for king cobras this season?

King cobras are exclusive snake eaters and occasionally feed on monitor lizards. Like other snakes, they do not feed on mice, birds, or frogs. For an 11-foot king cobra, no other snake is as grand a meal as an 8-foot rat snake. Feeding on any other snake would mean the king must hunt more. It was late evening. The villagers had spotted a king cobra hunt a rat snake, bite it, release it, and retreat into a bush nearby. When we reached it, the rat snake was already dead. We explained to the villagers that they could be standing between the king and his meal. The people of malnad, being the wonderful tolerant people they are, understood and agreed to leave the place so the king could claim its meal. After almost two hours with zero disturbance from people, the king cobra slowly came out and fed on its meal. Soon after, he retreated into the forest. Incidents such as this exemplify that, with understanding and respect, it is possible to co-exist with snakes. With a bit of effort and the right intention, you can too. Will you?
