Apparently, Nat Geo under Murdoch control is condoning cock fights. Place your bets at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/08/rooster-cobra-snake-india-attack-spd/

Roosters are great. We had a bantam rooster a few years ago that tore the crap out of a coyote that had attacked our flock. There were actually three coyotes and he went after all of them. I wouldn’t have believed it if i hadn’t seen it happen.

And bantams are just wee things, but fierce! They’re the Nac Mac Feegle of chickens.
My bantam Elliott took on a hawk once, lived to crow about it. Bantam chickens rock.

What if it wasn’t a baby cobra?
I’d still go with the rooster.
He ate it alive… what a baddass.

Yeah, we refer to the chickens as our little raptors.
And no, there is nothing more darkly amusing than watching chickens fight over some remnant fried chicken scraps.

The video was awesome, i’m somehow almost as impressed at the method used to show vertically-filmed smartphone video though

Why is it that the rooster can survive eating the cobra, if the venom that’s in its body is so lethal?

Guessing the difference is between digestion and injection. Stomach acid must break down the poisonous compound before it is absorbed into the body then blood. Vs injection where it directly enters the blood stream and usually starts paralyzing things like your heart. Not sure how cobra venom works.

Sounds legit.

venom in a stomach is considerably less dangerous than venom injected into a bloodstream. Though i’d guess it depends on the type of venom here.
Christ, what a cock.

Why is a deadly cobra so tiny? That’s not great.
