A feisty four-metre (13-foot) king cobra was pulled from a sewer in southern Thailand in an hour-long operation, a rescue foundation said Tuesday, describing the reptile as one of the largest they had ever captured.

Footage of the daring capture showed a man chasing the cobra — the world’s longest venomous snake — into a dark and cramped drainage pipe.

The cobra splashed around in water and tried to slither back into the pipe, but was pulled out by the tail after multiple attempts.

A security guard on the housing estate where it was found first alerted the rescue group on Sunday
Seven rescue workers, including me, went there,” said Kritkamon Kanghae, 26, adding that the estate was built on a plot that was once jungle.

Kritkamon said the snake was more than four metres long, weighed 15 kilos (33 pounds), and was the third-largest they had found.
It was later released into the wild.

Thailand is teeming with reptiles, and several species of cobra are native to the southeast Asian country.

References to the deadly snake fill folklore.

The main international airport was built on an area that used to be called “Cobra’s Swamp”.

Snakes have increasingly become a headache for residents in the Thai capital, where the fire department is sent out to respond to calls from alarmed residents

Authorities are reluctant to get rid of the reptiles because they help to control a rat population that could otherwise threaten crops and food stocks.

King cobras, however, mainly feed on other snakes — particularly the rat snake.

"It was later released into the wild."- Wont it find its way back to the homes and farms of people? undecided

"Thailand is teeming with reptiles, and several species of cobra are native to the southeast Asian country." - teeming with reptiles, yet you caught and RELEASED a huge poisonous cobra back into where it can procreate more snakes??

Authorities are reluctant to get rid of the reptiles because they help to control a rat population that could otherwise threaten crops and food stocks.

"King cobras, however, mainly feed on other snakes — particularly the rat snake." - Essentially, king cobras are useless- as they feed on other snakes, especially the snake that eats rats. Yet these silly people caught one and released it back.
angry undecided
LOL. Humans. Sometimes one wonders what is in the heads of people. Surely, it is not only the brain. Perhaps sand. Or air.

I thought i was the only one that enlarged that pix to see the scary and monstrous head of that beast!.

More scary facts about snakes

Great Keen sense of smell.

Some of them have heat pit that detects heat coming from a warm living body even in pitch darkness.

The mamba species can outrun a man.

The cobra can spit venom into a man's face and the accuracy is mind-boggling.

This Thailand people and their relationship with snakes is astounding, like they have zero fear for the fatal harm the venom in that animal can cause... Their habalists must be snake juju specialist perhaps.

Thank you, Seun, for considering my open letter.

This is one of the world 's most venomous snakes.

This is a snake that is endemic to forests from India through Southeast Asia.

The King Cobra prefer feeding on other snakes that are equally venomous.

Human activities seems to be encroaching on their traditional habitats.

Who knows the King Cobra might have entered Nigeria forest possibly through smuggling or it may well follow cargo from Asia to Nigeria?
