BEDROOMS are sometimes a sanctuary from the world; as such, the sudden presence of one thing harmful like a venomous snake would usually come as an disagreeable shock.
It was claimed not too long ago {that a} man in Hulu Terengganu discovered a 20kg king cobra in his bed room. Is there any reality to this?
VERDICT:
TRUE
Hulu Terengganu District Civil Defence Force officer Mohd Zabri Abd Razak confirmed this, saying {that a} 4m (13ft) king cobra was captured when a Kampung Sungai Ular villager discovered the reptile in his bed room on Tuesday (Dec 26).
Bernama quoted him as saying {that a} misery name got here in at 7.10pm and a five-man staff was despatched to the situation.
It took them 10 minutes to seize the snake, he added.
“The person first heard hissing sounds on high of his bed room earlier than he came across the snake,” stated Mohd Zabri.
“It’s regular for snakes to make hissing sounds as a warning once they really feel threatened. King cobras are very toxic. If bitten, victims might die in simply 5 minutes,” he added when contacted on Wednesday (Dec 27).
Mohd Zabri stated the snake will probably be stored briefly on the Civil Defence Force district workplace earlier than it’s both launched again into its pure habitat removed from populated areas or handed over to the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan).
