Viral Video: One of the most terrifying situations to face is surely getting an ‘uninvited guest’ in the house, that can kill people with a single bite. For people who are confused, we are hinting toward one of the most deadly reptiles in the world; snakes. Spotting even the tiniest of snakes at or near one’s home can be a scary experience, and this family experienced the same firsthand- only the situation was a hundred times more deadly. Believe it or not, a 9-foot-long King Cobra managed to enter a house in Karnataka. Rushing into action, a rescue team was called to catch the snake. A video of the reptile being rescued from the bedroom was shared online, which went viral. Later, the snake was set free in the forest area. The exact date and location of the incident could not be confirmed.
The snake video, after getting shared, went viral and pulled all kinds of reactions from horror-struck netizens. Most thanked the snake rescue team for the smooth rescue, while the rest commented on their fear of snakes.
The video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Ajay Giri’. The post was captioned, “A king cobra (~9ft long) was sighted inside the bedroom of a house. The owner got worried and called in charge forest department officials. ARRS was informed about the situation. Over the call, we instructed locals about do's and don'ts and rushed to the place. After inspection, we found the snake inside a metal box. The snake was gently bagged. We conducted an onsite awareness program for the local community. Later the snake was released into the wild in the presence of in-charge forest department officials.” The video was shared a while back and pulled more than 7K views from people.
