Toddler Bites Cobra, Snake Dies

In a startling incident recently reported from Bihar, India, a one-year-old boy named Govinda bit a cobra, resulting in the snake's death. The event occurred when Govinda was playing at home, and a two-foot-long cobra reportedly entered the premises. His grandmother stated the boy instinctively grabbed and bit the snake when it got too close, tearing it in half.

Following the encounter, Govinda collapsed and was taken for medical treatment. Hospital officials confirmed he was stable and showed no signs of venom poisoning. Villagers described his action as reflexive. This incident highlights the ongoing public safety issue of snakebites in India, exacerbated by heavy monsoon rains and construction that displace wildlife into residential areas.
