In a gripping encounter between an eagle and a cobra, the cobra narrowly evaded the bird’s grasp by spitting venom directly into its face at the final moment.
This intense confrontation unfolded within the dense forests of Southeast Asia, where the eagle was on the hunt for potential prey.
Aware of the looming threat, the cobra swiftly sought refuge in the shelter of a nearby tree. Despite the snake’s attempt to conceal itself, the eagle detected its presence and swiftly moved in for the attack.

Just as the eagle was about to grab the cobra in its talons, the snake spat venom into the eagle’s face, blinding it and causing it to recoil in pain. The cobra took advantage of the momentary distraction to slither away to safety.

This behavior is not uncommon in cobras, which are known for their deadly venom and ability to spit it from their fangs. Typically, they use this tactic to defend themselves from predators or to hunt prey from a distance.
