One of world’s most poisonous king cobra caught with bare hand by a snake catcher

Upon sighting the venomous cobra close to their residential homes, villagers immediately made a call to the snake catcher to get it out of the environment. Surprisingly, when the catcher came, he encouraged them saying pal "Don’t worry, these snakes are not as fast as smaller ones”

During the process, Atiwit Labyosthannasi took video clip of the event as the cobra was being picked up with his bare hands despite the fact that it is confirmed to the world’s poisonous cobra.

King cobra is a species of venomous snake endemic to Asia, and is found predominantly in and around forests.

It is the world's longest venomous snake, and can grow to 5.5 metres in length.

The king cobra is a dangerous snake that has a frightening reputation in its range, even though it typically avoids confrontation with humans when possible.

During the process, the snake’s loud “growling” hiss was beng heard - a characteristic which is part of its attack mechanism.

Also, the snake catcher was being heard asking his companion to “go to the head end” before comforting him by adding: "Don’t worry, these snakes are not as fast as smaller species”

After a long period of exhausting the snake it was subdued and the catcher was able to place it in a special bag for transportation to a wildlife sanctuary.
