Video: A Libyan child plays with a poisonous cobra and the end is shocking
He turned around and bit him
Social media sites in Libya circulated, today, Thursday, a video clip of a child playing with a deadly cobra, near his family's home, without fear or awareness of its danger.
The video showed the child, who is no more than 8 years old, holding a live snake and dragging it forcefully on the ground, throwing it and then holding it again, indifferent and aware of the danger of what he was doing and without feeling afraid of it, as he seemed to be enjoying playing with it very much and did not know that his life was threatened.
The snake bites the child
While it was trying to wrap itself around him, before reacting more violently and jumping towards him and then biting him, in breathtaking scenes.

Controversy
The clip sparked interaction from many on social media, with some praising the child’s courage and others denouncing leaving him alone to play in a place where wild snakes abound, while others criticised the person who filmed the scene and did not intervene to protect the child.
