Local snake expert gets opportunity to swim with his King Cobra
The eight-minute experience was posted on his YouTube page and got thousands of views. The expert called it 'the most beautiful experience of his life'.
The biggest venomous King Cobra snake on the African Continent is known as 'Thor'. The 4.8-metre serpent went for a swim with local animal expert, Dingo Dinkelman.
The King Cobra is incredibly talented. It can swim, slither on any ground surface, and even climb trees. It loves to swim, duck underwater, and wait for its prey.
In some parts of the world, King Cobras live in lush environments that have heavy rainfall, with streams and big rivers. King cobras can be found gliding across major streams effortlessly with their heads raised.
