A huge python snake was recently rescued in Odisha. The video was posted to YouTube channel ‘Cobra Subhendu’ yesterday and within the short span of a few hours, the video has already grabbed more than 17k views along with a number of comments.
As per the information given in the YouTube video, the python (Ajagara) was rescued from Ajagara Padia.
In the beginning of the video the snake rescuer is seen sitting on a bed with his fractured hand. However, while speaking to the audience he wanted to skip about the hand fracture but preferred to tell about the rescue of the huge python. He also said that the video has footage of wild elephants.
To rescue the python the snake rescuer reaches the spot where already many people have crowded the place. People, explained how a few dogs chased the python. Subhendu then reaches near the snake and tries to pull it from its tale side. Yet, as the snake itself puts pressure, he then takes another step forward and catches the snake by its head. He grabs the python and puts it on his shoulder. Later, he described that as his leg was not in a good condition he put the snake on his shoulder. Then, the snake was put into a bag with the help of a Forest official from Khuntuni Forest Range and later it was released at a lonely place near the forest to its natural habitat.
The snake catcher explained that so far he has rescued more than 400 snakes. Yet, this was for the first time that he saw such an angry snake. We could see that during release of the snake, the reptile was looking the humans around it with anger.
While returning after the snake release, the snake catching team also witnessed a herd of wild elephants that constituted of adult elephants as well as elephant calves.
