An Indonesian wizard who claims to be able to harness black magic recently died after being bitten twice by his own domesticated king cobra during a so-called "magic show". This bizarre incident occurred in West Kalimantan, where the deceased Norjani caught a king cobra nearly 5 meters long in 2020 and used it in a spooky snake tricking show.
News videos show Nojani hanging a massive king cobra around his neck and embarking on what he calls a "magic show." He laughed loudly as he shook the massive snake's body. This apparently irritating act of the king cobra is puzzling, and when he tries to grab the snake's head, the king cobra bites him twice without mercy. Despite the advice of his neighbors to seek help, Nojani, who claims to be the strongest wizard in the region, refuses everyone's help and continues to perform the unbelievable show.
However, after being bitten by a king cobra for the second time, Nojani developed symptoms of poisoning within two hours. Due to the excessive amount of venom released by the king cobra and the lack of timely treatment, Nojani died after being taken to the hospital to receive an antivenom injection.
This bizarre incident makes people feel embarrassed, and it also highlights the danger of the king cobra. Although king cobras were once known as "mountain peaks", they usually do not actively attack humans when undisturbed. However, when a threat is perceived, the king cobra will adopt a threatening posture and bite any potential threat.
The venom of the king cobra contains neurotoxins and cytotoxins, which cause great harm to the human body. The tragedy is not only a warning to those who underestimate the venom of the king cobra, but also a brutal reminder of the respect and caution with which wildlife is treated.
Convinced that he could manipulate the dark arts, Nojani ignored the potential risks of living with the world's largest venomous snake. The tragedy is a reminder of reverence for wildlife and a reminder to be cautious when encountering dangerous animals to avoid falling into irreparable situations. This bizarre incident is both deeply regrettable and a wake-up call for us to get along with nature.
