JetsetBkk Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 While exercising out in the wild jungles of Phuket Town (top of Khao Toe-Sae, actually), I came across the little fella having lunch. He (she?) was only about 60cm long and was very busy finishing off a frog. Not a pretty site, but quite fascinating how it stretches its head forwards, grabs the frog with its jaws and then concertinas its neck to drag the body further down its gullet. Any ideas what type of snake it is? [media]Sorry about the low-res video - forgot to switch the camera to HD. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yeah, looks like you got a video of a cobra at exactly the right time, when he was busy eating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrjlh Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Interesting... why is it on Youtube if you took the picture? Wouldn't the video be the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done a Google Image search on Monocled Cobra and it certainly does look like one: http://images.google.com/search?q=Monocled%20Cobra&biw=1079&bih=652&tbm=isch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm no hero and I could see it couldn't do much with it's mouth full of frog! But tonight I'll be a bit more wary when I do my exercising there again!
