Karnataka is home to a few of the biggest snake types in India, with the famous Western Ghats being an especially abundant environment for the reticulated python and the King Cobra — which can grow to be 18 feet in length.
Last year, a snake catcher rescued a “big deadly venomous” 15-foot King Cobra discovered concealing under a car in Agumbe, a high-altitude town in main Karnataka’s Shivamogga district.
In binomial classification, King cobras are referred to as Ophiophagus hannah, where “Ophiophagus” approximately equates to “snake eater” — however that’s far eclipsed by their difference as the longest poisonous snakes in the world.

One such reptilian leviathan took residence in a car’s bumper and it was so huge, just a specialist like Jayakumar SS might have rescued it. The crawling snake was cuddled up under a Maruti Omni with a Karnataka (KA-14) registration plate and was seemingly not happy being eliminated from its haven in Shivamogga vehicle.

The rescuer assured stressed onlookers that there was little to fret about because “it’s just a snake” as he attempted to coax the huge cobra out of the car and usher it into a snake bag.

“Jayakumar SS is one of the dedicated wildlife conservationists who work to solve the human-snake conflict in their communities while risking their own lives to protect some of India’s most dangerous snake species,” said Youtube channel Living Zoology , which shared a video of the tiresome house call.

After its rescue, the King Cobra was launched into a close-by forested location — with its rehab caught by a multi-camera setup to show “how snakes are not aggressive to humans”.

The cobra video has actually resurfaced over 11 months after it premiered on Youtube.

Sharing a reduced variation of the clip on Twitter, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda composed: “King Cobra’s are vital in the food chain for maintaining balance in nature. Here is one nearly 15 feet long rescued & released in the wild.”

The video tweet, which has actually acquired over 30,000 views, likewise encourages individuals not to try such saves by themselves.

“Entire operation is by trained snake catchers. Please don’t try on your own. With onset of rains, they can be found in all odd places,” Nanda concluded his post.

Although the King Cobra is not the most poisonous snake in the world, a single bite of this flaky titan can provide sufficient neurotoxins to eliminate an elephant — or 20 people.
