Mr Giri rushed to the location with his team, while instructing locals over the phone on the dos and don'ts involving the snake. After a quick inspection, the officials quickly got to work, using a rod to carefully bring the snake down from the bush. They then placed the cobra into a rescue bag and released it into the wild in the presence of the locals and forest department officials.
''What a gorgeous cobra. Thank you for saving him.'' Another wrote, ''So professionally done as compared to so many videos online!!'' A third commented, ''it is so satisfying to watch him go back to his natural habitat, rescue team.''

Long ago and far away fighting cobra and mongoose mounted on a branch was available, I took a pass, but they were cool.
so it can live to kill another day.
do they still use the river as a toilet over there?
Dumb question: Why aren’t they putting the cobra down? Those things are dangerous.

Snakes - not just venomous snakes - eat a huge number of rats, mice, and other pests. Cobras in particular have a long history of interactions with humanity. Some monasteries in India make pets of them - leaving food out for them (they like milk) and providing them with space to bask in the sun - because they are so beneficial.
There are only a couple of venomous snake species that are aggressive toward humans. Most of the time if a snake knows a human is there, it will try to hide.
Same reason we are releasing wolves here.
😂😂😂 perfect
Was it’s name KAA ?
Because the Indian government has passed laws that punish people for killing snakes. Snakes represent some of their gods for some hindus.
Guess what happens when poisonous and deadly snakes are not killed anymore?! Yes, their population increases fast, and snakebites increase as well.
Human life is less valuable than snakes.
Cobras are intelligent and don't bother people, unless harassed. They do a very good job of controlling crop destroying rats and other vermin.
Have you ever studied the bubonic plague?
Cats were killed on sight because people thought they were demon possessed. No cats= more rats and mice = more fleas = more plague = more death.
same with cobras.. you kill them and something much worse comes along.
I'll also add school bullies. They did a job controlling weirdos. You blamed them for societies ills and it turned out without them you got the likes of antifia violence and transsexuals wanting our kids to accept a sick demented fetish as normal and demanding we all play their make-believe dress up games.
“There are only a couple of venomous snake species that are aggressive toward humans.”
That explains a lot.
Our USMC Infantry son and many others were enjoying a pleasant ocean cruise when the massive tsunami hit Sri Lanka in 2004(?)
They were redirected to Sri Lanka for humanitarian support.
They set up camp near the town, the connecting road was out of the way and the Marines walked directly to the town.
Until the locals pointed out that the mounds in the field were cobra nests!!!
No cobras were injured.
KAA?
I had always heard that Nag and Nagaina were the favored cobra names across all of India.
And never Rikki!
” They do a very good job of controlling crop destroying rats and other vermin.”
Another part of the puzzle, thank you.
See #6.
Skin would have made a wonderful pair of boots and the meat fed several families for a week.
Kaa was the name of the snake in The Jungle Book.
My favorite character was the King Louie. Mostly because I loved the song. I still remember it fifty plus years later.
“I want to walk like you, talk like you”
A .410 shotgun would have been much quicker.
Beautiful creature, but only if I’m looking at it from 12,500 miles away.
Imagine walking into your yard to get firewood from your stack of wood, pick some up, and did not see the snake hiding in there.
They bite so fast. They don't sit there and analyze that you made a mistake, say hi to you before going off somewhere else.
Imagine finding an uninvited guest in your home, when you step out of your room in the morning, or when you are walking at night to your neighbors house and you accidentally step on one.
You cannot kill them in your own yard/house because if the government finds out, you will be punished.
