Deadly king cobras guard sleeping baby

Four king cobras have been captured in a footage standing guard above a sleeping baby. Cobras are the world's most venomous snakes.

The slithering reptiles even rose up and extended their hoods.

King cobras are predominantly found across India and South East Asia.They usually avoid confrontations with humans but remain one of the most dangerous and feared snakes to inhabit the forests of Asia.

They are the longest of all the venomous snakes, growing up to five metres.

Cobras' venom isn't as strong as other species but they produce enough in a single deadly strike to kill a fully-grown elephant.
