LESSON, 1831
Kaeng Krachan, Thailand. February 29th, 2016.
“The abrupt edges of the water holes were mostly bare clay, thanks to the elephants, but here and there were spots where Elephas couldn’t easily reach, and grasses and other plants kept a foothold. The herper eye is naturally drawn to these, and being at the right water hole at the right time, I saw the back portion of a heavy brown snake, half in the water and the rest disappearing into the grass. I knew it was a cobra; in the milliseconds of discovery, the sorting and classification areas of my brain made a pretty good guess.”
