a few years ago I was in Thailand, on a regular tourist trip. The country is Buddhist, hunting is not welcomed there (although there are several types of pheasants, but alas...). We went on a regular tour of the river Kwai. Hotel with carved teak furniture on the banks of the river, frogs yelling at all voices, in General, all things. So I took my wife for a walk in the jungle while the rest of the group was having fun at the water Park. And having only half a kilometer, we saw the following picture: in the woods, rustling the leaves, literally carrying huge black and grey snake lifted high on the neck. A long meters 4-5. With the speed of the train, hell catch up. She went about her business, and we went to the hotel at the same speed. Then I looked at the directories-it was the same Royal Cobra, by the way I read that she eats other snakes, not tourists.
And about the black Mamba - recently one of our TV presenter on his own stupidity got a bite of this nice animal right on the air. Although the case was in the city -- not rescued, has died.
