"That reptile looks majestic but don't wanna face it in real time my blood runs cold for sure," commented one user on the post.
Snakes are one of the most dangerous reptiles on earth. And if it is a King Cobra one needs to be more careful. Recently, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, who is well-known for sharing interesting wildlife content on social media posted a terrifying video of the reptile being rescued and released in the wild after it was found in a car.
"King Cobras are vital in the food chain for maintaining balance in nature. Here is one nearly 15 feet long rescued & released into the wild. The entire operation is by trained snake catchers. Please don’t try on your own. With the onset of rain, they can be found in all odd places," read the caption of the post shared by Nandao on the microblogging site Twitter.
The clip opens to show a man pulling out a cobra with a rod meant to catch reptiles. Soon he manages to put the snake inside a bag and releases it out in the forest.
