An incredible incident took place in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh: a one-year-old baby bit and killed a venomous cobra after it attacked him. The baby was playing near his home when the snake coiled around his arm and bit him.
Instead of panicking, the child instinctively bit the snake twice. The cobra soon died. The parents rushed the baby to a nearby hospital, where doctors provided immediate care. Fortunately, the venom had not spread throughout the baby's body.
Medical staff confirmed the bite was shallow and the timely response helped save the child's life. The boy’s reaction and survival amazed both doctors and the public.
Social media erupted with admiration, calling the boy a “hero baby.” The case also sparked discussions on child safety, especially in rural areas where encounters with snakes are more common.
Every year, thousands of people in India are bitten by snakes. This rare story reminds us of the need for vigilance and the importance of emergency response and education about wildlife risks.
