Recently, a white cobra broke into a house in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu state, southern India. The cobra’s entire body is as white as snow, about 1.53 m long, with pure red eyes that sparkle like rubies. Immediately, people in the house called to report to the authorities and experts from the Wildlife and Nature Conservation Organization (WNCT) were sent to capture the snake. According to local beliefs, cobras in India are considered familiar animals, white cobras or albino cobras are revered by local people as a god or spiritual symbol. According to scientists, albino cobras are due to lack of pigmentation, which is very rare. The albino cobra is a venomous snake that can kill prey and large animals quickly. They often attack when they feel threatened, and can even attack when they are insulted or trampled. Albino cobras also have an important role in the ecosystem, helping to control the number of other harmful animals. They are carnivores, often preying on small animals, even other snakes. However, capturing and killing albino cobras for their meat and skin is also causing a decline in the species’ numbers, making them a threatened and protected species. >>>Watch more videos: Unbelievable facts about “farting” in animals.
