Amazing Indian Girl Is Friends with Six King Cobras
India has long been known as the land of the snake charmers. But here’s something very unusual. An 8-year-old Indian girl who plays all day not with other girls, but with her pet King Cobras.
Kajol Khan lives
in the village of Ghatampur in Uttar Pradesh, with her parents, six
sisters, two brothers and six pet Cobras, her best friends. She comes
from a family of snake catchers and hopes to carry on in her father’s
footsteps someday. Her father, 55-year-old Taj Mohammad has been working
as a snake catcher in Ghatampur for the past 45 years. While he has
already passed on his skills to his son, he’s unexpectedly found himself
a mentor to his daughter Kajol. The little girl has been used to snakes
crawling around her since she was a baby, and hence feels nothing out
of the ordinary in their presence. In fact, she prefers hanging out with
her slithering buddies rather than go to school. She has been bitten –
on her stomach, cheeks and hands – but this is hardly of any concern to
her. Kajol has always been able to make a full recovery, thanks to her
father’s herbal medicine, which has been a family secret for
generations. “I have a lot of fun with the cobras. It hurts when they
bite me but sometimes it’s my own fault because I tease them. It’s quite
funny.”
