This is the moment a man was fatally bitten by a cobra while watching a snake charmer in India.
According to Dailymail, while the charmer attempted to put the snake around the tourist's neck while other people watch and film, the snake delivered a deadly dose of venom.
However, the man did not immediately notice he has been poisoned, as he carries on posing for the camera. Moments later he seems to sense that something is amiss, asking the charmer to check whether he has been bitten.
But the entertainer ignores him and carries on with the demonstration. A few minutes later the man begins losing consciousness, but rather than take him to hospital, onlookers took him to a medicine man.
Within an hour he had died from the poison, according to witnesses.
The incident took place in Jodhpur, in the northwester province of Rajasthan, India. It is not known which species of cobra this particular snake belongs to as there are five native to India, including the king cobra - which is not considered a 'true' cobra.
