Claim: Video clip shows a toddler playing with a cobra.
Example: [Collected via e-mail, May 2007]
Origins: We don't know the origins of this video clip, although a reader wrote to tell us:
My tv watching finally paid off b/c I had seen this story on Inside Edition or Access Hollywood (I can't remember which one but it was on the major networks at 6:30pm CST). They explained that the video was right but what you couldn't tell was that the Cobra's mouth had been secured shut. It was just a ritual they do in India for babies. They really didn't have much info on it but at least they explained that the baby wasn't actually getting bitten — just hit in the head.
