A brief bit of footage of the Forest Cobra we encountered in Northern KZN recently. The hooding was to intimidate us (fleeing wasn't working while i was taking photos), warning us to back off, not a warning that it was going to attack. It's main focus was on getting away. #cobra #snakeconservation #herpetology #snakes #SouthAfrica #kzn #conservation #reptiles #wildlife #summer | Nick Evans- Snake Rescuer
