I know nothing about the picture except it appears real. It is also a lesson for me in psychology. What kind of jerk would take a picture of someone taking a picture and about to get bit on the butt? ME!
I'm guessing that is in India. They don't appear to be O. Hannah though. Hannah's tummy is very light tan without any color variation from day 1 and doesn't have that broad black stripe. But then, mom's coloration is quite like Hannah. I'm confused. Someone clue me?

Cobras and cougars. See babies? WATCH FOR MOMMY!

I have to admit there are few things more endearing and paradoxical than hatching cobras. Speaking primarily from my limited knowledge, having seen a dozen Hannah hatches about 6 Kaouthai and 1 Siamensis, the Hannah are ... need a youtube of it. Just like in the picture, they come out hood up and ready to hand out some serious sheet, at all of 8 inches long and about as thick as a mans little finger. Meanwhile mommy looks on proudly, from a safe distance. The mother Hannah has some sort of genetic instruction code that prevents her from feeling hungry or being able to eat at all during the hatching phase, otherwise she'd just gulp them all down.
