Snake Catcher Risks Life to Rescue Cobra From Well
March 12, 2018 - A snake catcher in India risked his own life to rescue this cobra trapped in a well. The owner of the well called in expert snake catcher Gururaj Sanil to retrieve the intruder. Lowering himself down, he attempted to catch the Indian Spectacled cobra from the water. Failing twice to catch the slippery serpent, it took Sanil several hours to succeed. Finally securing the nearly six-foot-long male cobra, Sanil ascended out of the well. Once out, the snake was carefully placed inside a bag and transported to a nearby forest. Growing up to 18 feet long, the cobra is one of the most venomous snakes on earth.
