A man in India may soon face criminal charges for allegedly painting a cobra snake white in order to pass the creature off as albino. The very strange case reportedly began last week when multiple media outlets in the country shared footage (seen above) of Ajay Kumar Das seemingly rescuing the rare reptile from a marsh in the town of Nayagarh. While the man was initially hailed as something of a hero for making the wondrous find, he has now been recast as a villain after prominent wildlife expert Subhendu Mallik caught something in the coverage which made him suspect that Das' tale was not on the level.
