NEW DELHI, India (KTRK) -- The world's longest venomous snake, the king cobra, usually tries to avoid confrontation with humans and vice versa.[br /][br /]A deadly drought in southern India left one snake a little less vicious than usual. The serpent, whose venom could kill a human, became rather friendly with one in order to get a drink.[br /] [br /]According to the description of a video uploaded to YouTube, the cobra wandered to Kaiga village in Karnataka presumably in search of water.[br /][br /]A wildlife rescue worker approached the deadly snake and offered it a bottle of water - getting much closer than the typical person would dare.[br /]
[br /]Then, the snake did the unthinkable as it drank politely from the water bottle while being held by a rescue worker.[br /][br /][url HREF="https://abc13.formstack.com/forms/report_a_typo" TARGET="" REL=""][b]Report a typo to the ABC13 staff[/b][/url] [/url] [url HREF="http://abc13.com/apps/" TARGET="" REL=""][media ID="1781672" /][/url]
