"Vernon Byrd was on an all-terrain vehicle in a field off Johnson Road last Tuesday when he said an 8-foot-long snake reared up beside him..."

I've always read/heard that King Cobras are by nature reclusive, and will avoid contact with humans whenever possible...if true this seems very uncharacteristic. They also are, in terms relative to other poisonous snakes, much slower moving...a mongoose that can generally outmaneuver and gain an advantage over a cobra will be dead meat up against some other vipers.
