In photos from the event, you can see several officers in their camo uniforms tilting their heads back to drink the blood directly from the serpent's body. One US Marine who had previously participated in Cobra Gold told that the blood had a distinct "fishy flavor."

The species, which was considered endangered until four years ago, is known as the national animal of South Asian country.
