The 5-meter cobra that attacked Wirot Kiewkong’s cat Tuesday in Trang.

 

TRANG — A rubber farmer was showering Tuesday morning when he heard a loud noise in his yard.

Holy crap!!

I am struggling to understand how the cat did not get bitten and if it did how it survived?

A cat's reflexes are (usually) fast enough to avoid any striking snake.

And only about 50% of bites result in envenomation anyway.

A magnificent specimen.

Because, ya' know, a lot of peeping toms hang out around the rubber farmer's house in the wee hours of the morning. 

 

Cobras don't "bear their fangs". 

 

Impressive snake and photos.  So pleased it didn't meet the same fate as others after their first, and last, encounter with humans.
