Elephant and cobra
The lack of undergrowth in the Indian rainforests makes it easy for Indian elephants to get around. Formely much more widespread, today wild elephants are most common in the forests of the Western Ghats. A herd of elephants encounter a king cobra by a rainforest pool. A cobra's bite could kill a baby elephant, but the snake raises its hood then swims away. Both cobras and elephants are revered in India because of their association with deities.
