King Cobra Hunts Water Snake At Sungei Buloh WetLand
On Friday 17 Jul, a netizen shared a video where he captured a king cobra dragging a dead water snake along the wetlands of Sungei Buloh Reserve. This video coincidentally happens a day after the World Snake Day which is celebrated on 16 Jul.
From the video, it is noticed that the King cobra has followed the water snake across the wetlands and finally comes to feasting upon this water snakes. King cobra is often seen hunting on natural terrain for smaller prey like rats, woodland creatures, and even small snakes which isn’t a surprising sight.
As everyone is usually afraid of snakes, but the snake actually plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance. Without snakes, many predators would grow in number and proliferate unchecked.
