12 feet king cobra rescued from bonnet of car, watch viral video
A 12 feet cobra was recently rescued from the bonnet of a car. Hundreds of people witnessed the reptile rescue. The rescue team also conducted an onsite awareness program for the local community. The video of the snake rescue has gone viral on social media.
As we can see in the video a snake catcher opens the bonnet of a parked car and then finds a large snake inside. As the snake opens its hood we can know that it is a cobra. Then the snake catcher takes the snake to a specific place where his team had earlier made an arrangement so that if the snake is released there, it can move into a bag kept earlier. Exactly, the same thing happens. The snake catcher releases the 12 feet long reptile and it moves towards the bag. Then the team collects the snake and later releases it into the wild, its natural habitat. The whole rescue process was witnessed by many people and the snake catchers’ team also conducted an awareness program on the spot among the locals.

As per the caption of the video a 12 feet long king cobra was first sighted crossing a road. The snake got disturbed by dogs and humans. It took refuge under a car parked next to the house.
After a while, the snake was not visible. Suspecting the snake to be under the car hood, the worried owner informed the snake catcher team through forest department officials. Then the snake catcher team came and rescued the cobra.
The forest department trainees from Thattihalla who were to visit somewhere else were redirected to the rescue location and got to witness the rescue method.
