Video Of A 6-Foot Long Python Found Coiled Inside Car Engine In Delhi Goes Viral. WATCH
On seeing the snake, the car owner from South Delhi immediately contacted Wildlife SOS, an animal rescue team.
Snakes are amongst the most feared and hated reptiles on earth. Some of them, like the King Cobras are so poisonous that they can kill a few people in a single bite. So, what would be your reaction if you came across a reptile hiding inside the engine compartment of your car? Probably, run away instantly and look for help.
A car owner from South Delhi was in a similar situation when he found a six-foot python resting in his car. He immediately contacted Wildlife SOS, an animal rescue team that immediately reached the location to rescue the snake.
"A massive python found an unexpected refuge in a car in South Delhi. The compassionate car owner reached out to Wildlife SOS for urgent assistance and a well-trained team swiftly arrived at the scene, working in coordination with the police and forest officials," read the caption shared by Wildlife SOS on microblogging site X, formerly Twitter.
"The rescuers performed a meticulous operation, crawling under the car to locate the python, which had made its way into the engine area. After more than half an hour of careful effort, the snake was safely secured and handed over to the forest officials, the organisation further wrote.

This is not the first time that a reptile has been found hiding in an unexpected place. Earlier this month, a video of a man narrowly escaping a venomous snake bite had gone viral.
Sojan from Thrissur in Kerala had placed his helmet on the platform beside his parked scooter at his workplace. When he retuned to pick the helmet and leave for his home in the evening, he noticed something entering his helmet.
He instantly realised it was a snake and contacted the local forest department for assistance. In a short while, a snake volunteer named Lijo arrived at the location and pulled out the snake from the helmet.
