Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Dead Cobra Bites and
Kills Chef
Is the decapitated
head of a cobra still alive and functional? Apparently, it seems yes at least
in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant where the unfortunate Chinese chef was
bitten by the head of an Indochinese cobra. He had died before emergency
workers reached him with anti-venom.
What’s surprising
is the fact that the head had been cut off 20 minutes before the incident
happened. But experts weren’t surprised because unlike mammals, it is quite
common for reptiles to survive and function even an hour after the part of the
body is cut off. In other words, decapitation doesn't necessarily mean death to
reptiles.
Enjoy reading and
learning about how amazing nature is.
If you’re eager to
see how the head of a decapitated cobra moves and reacts, see the shocking
video clip below.
