Toddler bites cobra to death after snake coiled itself around his hand

A two-year-old boy in India has stunned his community after he bit a three-feet-long cobra to death.

Infant Govinda Kumar bravely fought back against the venomous snake when it coiled itself around his arm while he was playing outside his home in Bankatwa village, in the Majhaulia block of Bihar's West Champaran district on Friday afternoon.

The toddler spotted the snake and threw a piece of brick at it, relatives said.

The cobra then lunged at him and wrapped itself tightly around his hand.

In a shocking turn of events, the boy responded by sinking his teeth into the reptile's head, killing it.
