Explanation:
The researchers found a half-built King Cobra nest. Being a resident production assistant, I was asked to spend time in a ‘hide’- a camouflage makeshift arrangement where one could wait and film an animal without being noticed. I was to film the snake, finishing its nest building process, if it did come back.
The closest village was eight kilometers from the nesting spot. Everyday, I trekked this distance, along with the local field assistant and researcher. To reach the ‘hide’, we had to cross a flowing stream, submerged in chest deep water, carrying all our camera equipment. I then spent around twelve hours sitting in the hide, bitten by leeches, waiting eagerly for the snake. A few days went by and there was no sign of the snake.
On the last day, the snake emerged. It twisted its body into a noose to gather a pile of leaves, and moving slowly, placed them on top of the nest. This act was repeated several times. My hands shivered with excitement. The action was unfolding right in front of my eyes, and the experience was unbelievable!
The King Cobra’s nest is so tightly constructed that even after torrential downpour and extremely humid conditions, it remains intact. During the incubation period, which lasts for about ninety days, the eggs inside the nest remain dry.
The joy of watching this magnificent snake build a nest was a priceless reward. I feel privileged to be one among few in the world who have documented this rare behaviour of the King Cobra. It’s a memory I would treasure for life.
