When snakes like cobras lose their temper, they become even more dangerous. It’s their natural instinct to bite, but if they jump and attack in self-defense, they can suffocate anyone trying to catch them. One such video of catching a cobra in Uttarakhand is going viral online, people are surprised to see it.
After receiving information about a king-size cobra in Kankhal, Haridwar, forest officers reach there. But catching the snake proves to be very difficult, because the snake is already very big. Additionally, when the person holding it comes near, the snake goes into a state of attack in self-defense.
It was not so easy to catch him…
At the beginning of the video, the forest officer gently catches the cobra and is trying to put it in a bag by holding its tail. He is already treating her very carelessly. As soon as he pulls it by the tail, it opens its tail and runs towards it. After about 34 seconds of intense struggle, the cobra is caught in the net.
As he puts his mouth in the bag, the forest workers completely capture him in the next 30 seconds, and the video ends with this. The handle @KumaonJagran posted this video on
