In such circumstances, venomous cobras would attack other animals without a second thought. However, the cobra in its defensive mode with an open hood didn’t react violently. Rather, it remained calm while the cow continues to lick its hood.

Indian Forest Services (IFS) official Susanta Nanda shared the video on Twitter with a caption reading: Difficult to explain. The trust gained through pure love (sic)
