One tough toddler

Kids, don't try this at home.

Toddler bites cobra to death

A toddler in India bit a venomous cobra so hard that he killed it.

Two-year-old Govinda Kumar was playing in his home in Bankatwa, a village in the eastern Indian state of Bihar, when he spotted the three-foot snake and grabbed it.

The snake then coiled itself around the toddler’s tiny hands, but instead of screaming, the child put the snake’s head in its mouth and clenched his jaw, according to Mateshwari Devi, the boy’s grandmother.

Govinda was knocked unconscious after ingesting some of the venom, but was treated in hospital and has since been discharged.

The snake died on the spot.
