Interesting story

This is a story I heard from biology teacher Mr. Soh last week, and found it really amuzing. I'll try my best to recall the details... :)

In his point of view...
"While we (Mr. Soh and his female colleague) were setting up poles for our research on birds early one morning, we saw 2 black cobra, a male and a female. The male, unlike other species, was slightly larger than the female, about 2meters in length. They were interwind together, the male 'holding on to his resource'. (As you can guess by now) They were copulating. The rare sight woke us up.

My female colleague passed me a camera and asked me to take a photo of it. As the zoom of the camera was far from satisfactory, I had to move really close to the cobras to take a good picture, thinking that they would not even notice me since they were busy 'passing on their genes'.

When I was really close to the cobras and was ready to take a good picture, the two suddenly unwind. As I was on the downslope, the two came tumbling down on me. My female colleague screamed and escaped. The female cobra simply slithered off. However the male cobra was really pissed off. For a split second, I had the crazy idea of opening up my legs so that the cobra could tumble through. I abandoned the idea and ran away as fast as I could.

When I was a safe distance away from the slope, I turned around and saw that the male cobra was at where I was, looking really pissed off and ready to spit..."


Moral of the story?
Do not disturb when people are busy, especially when they are copulating. ;p
