Animal Viral Video: A video from Patna Airport has gone viral, as it is very captivating. It shows something rarely seen—friendship between a mongoose and a snake, two mortal enemies. So shared by Ghar Ka Kalesh, a user on Twitter, the video captures a very unusual scene where the rivals can be seen engaging in playful interaction rather than their usual deadly encounters.
Unlikely Playmates on the Runway
The video starts with what could be the runway of the said airport, where no stopped flights or passengers are seen. Instead, a mongoose along with a snake is the center of attraction, as they seem to play with one another. From the beginning, one might think that there is just one mongoose being so brave that it’s dancing around the snake. Soon enough, more mongooses join in and start dancing around the snake.
While the snake stretches out and rises at the head, one mongoose cautiously approaches, rearward, whenever it feels the snake head comes closer. Soon enough, it becomes playful. It looks as if the mongoose tickles and jumps around merrily with the snake. It is light-hearted, the contrary of how deadly their encounters turn out to be.
Group Dynamics Unfold
The lightness of the encounter is revealed as further mongooses join in, grouping around their fellow to render the situation into an interaction group. They take turns to charge forward, then retreat, regarding the snake, which seems quite indifferent.
It is one of those very rare and sweet moments that shows the less often seen side of these animals. And it kind of shakes up that narrative that has been portrayed of how these animals relate to each other in some confrontational way. The video has gone viral fast as it riveted viewers on account of its unexpected harmony in the animal kingdom.
