A bizarre incident of a cobra has been caught on camera. In Odisha, a cobra snake swallowed onions and not one but 11! The cobra vomited out all the 11 onions and it was caught on camera. Villagers had called Snake Helpline volunteer Himanshu Sekhar Dehury to rescue the snake. The common Indian cobra was found in a village resident, Susanta Behera's house in the Chendipada village in Angul district.
Volunteer Mr Dehury was quite shocked to see the snake throwing up onions and he could catch only the last two on video. Talking about the weird incident he was quoted, "Before I could guess something, the cobra started to regurgitate the onions. That's when I realized it to be an unusual incident and gave my phone to my friend who shot the last 2 onions being regurgitated out of the mouth of the cobra."

Incidents of snake spotting and rescue are not new in Odisha. Recently more than hundreds of snakes and baby cobras were discovered in a villagers house. Cobras are particularly carnivorous by nature so probably the onion aftertaste was not digestible. Subhendu Mallik, General Secretary of Snake Helpline told to a report in NDTV, "This is known as 'Herbivori' - an unusual behavior in snakes which occurs due to judgmental error of snake when it finds the odour of rodents or any other of its prey on the fruit or vegetable." This is also the first time such an incident has occurred. This cobra was probably too convinced with the onions and had not one but 11 of them, only to spit them out later.
