Imagine you’re getting ready to leave after a long day at work, but see a snake resting in your car. Scared already? The man from Surat Thani, Thailand had not only had a 12-feet cobra resting on the back of his pickup truck, but also went home without seeing the serpent. A video of snake rescue operation is now making a splash on social media. The clip posted on Instagram shows a group of professionals rescuing a snake from a pickup truck.
“I’m relieved it didn’t hurt and didn’t bite anyone at home,” the pickup truck owner told Newsflare.com.
The rescue video has garnered over 2.5 lakh views, with comments flooding Instagram users. “Holy smoke! They didn’t know they had grown so big,” wrote one user in the video expressing wonder at the size of the cobra, while another was curious to know the serpent’s diet. “12 feet and healthy! What is it eating,” he wrote.
“Never going to Thailand. No,” read one comment
In another similar incident last year, a 2-metre-long python was rescued from the fuel tank of a Thai farmer’s pickup truck. The farmer had reportedly parked his car and had gone to water his sugarcane fields and he returned, found a python near the engine of his car.
He closed the door of his truck and opened the bonnet, hoping that the snake would run away, but instead, the python went inside and soon disappeared. The farmer then called for rescue, a video of which is available on YouTube.
The video showed two police officers monitoring the situation on the spot as the rescue team engaged in its work, noticed the snake’s head inside the fuel tank. It took them at least an hour to get the python out of the car safely.
