A snake charmer from Indonesia has won the hearts of the internet users after a video of him bonding peacefully with a huge cobra became viral. The video depicts Muhammad Panji, who is also referred to as “Panji the Adventurer,” stroking the hood of the huge venomous snake gently — without the least bit of fear.
The video, which has accumulated millions of views on TikTok, Instagram, and X, displays the unusual bond between human and reptile. Viewers were stunned and mesmerized as Panji held the cobra’s gaze and even smiled when the snake did not move, its hood spread.
Renowned for his wildlife conservation efforts, Panji often shares snake-handling videos to enlighten the public about safety, respect, and living with venomous animals. With his cool head and extensive knowledge of snakes’ behavior, he has become a celebrity among animal enthusiasts.
Social media users filled the comment sections with admiration, shock, and awe. While some were hailing the magical moment, others were worried about the danger involved. Either way, the video has again demonstrated how the internet can’t resist a man and his snake.
