This king cobra was found in the midst of a well populated village and was promptly rescued by a team of professional snake handlers who afterwards safely released the snake into a nearby forested area away from any habitation. When threatened or stressed after immediately consuming a large meal, reptiles, particularly snakes will sometimes regurgitate the contents in their stomachs to lighten themselves to be able to make a quick getaway or defend themselves. King cobras are ophiophagous, with their diet consisting mainly of other snake species including several nonvenomous and venomous snake species, including other king cobras. This one was in the process of regurgitating a ratsnake that it had consumed.
PS. This is for educational purposes only. I cannot stress enough on the fact that you must never attempt to handle wildlife or try to relocate a snake (especially venomous ones) by yourself unless you are a trained professional or rescuer with proper equipment and training to deal with them, as not only is it very stupid and dangerous for both yourself and for the animal involved but it can very well result in grevious injury or death for the people around and for the snake.
