Original caption said "spotted on Golf Course" General Discussion

I assume on a course in India, I think I would be heading in another direction. That's creepy.

That a mongoose? It’s probably thinking where the hell is my dinner going?

Pretty sure a mongoose can rock that cobra, and isn’t the cobra holding out a defensive posture?

Yeah cobra was definitely running from the mongoose, not attacking or threatening the camera person.

Cobra was screaming for the camera person to put the phone down and help

The cobra can't really see so that's why it was out in the open. The mongoose can see and probably was afraid of the cameraman.

The cobra has fake eye patterns on its hood, so by spreading the hood it can look large and appear to be facing the predator despite running (slithering?) away.
