According to the IndiaTv website, snakes have the ability to slip into the most inconspicuous places unnoticed and therefore have a reputation that strikes fear into the hearts of many. Despite this, finding these reptiles is very common, as they have a remarkable talent for perfectly camouflaging their surroundings.

As an important component of the food chain, the king cobra plays a critical role in maintaining ecosystem balance, according to an IFS spokesperson.

Netizens were stunned by the video and praised the snake hunter. One of Susanna’s followers shared her own experience: “Great video. I have witnessed the collection of poison in a snake park in Tamil Nadu and have witnessed its exceptional skill.”

Another person commented, “The heat is drawing them to go outside! It’s fantastic to watch the rescue and liberation efforts.”

“These magnificent animals are the pride of India. Unfortunately, they are subject to human abuse. His survival is in grave danger because of our actions. We must take steps to protect and preserve them,” commented a third.

According to National Geographic, the king cobra is able to stand up and look into the eyes of an adult.
