Largest king cobra rescued

[@julianshalders6047]

Beautiful king cobra , too many humans taking up their space. At least you rescued him from harm, well done 🙏.

[@wilfredpacquin2213]

Humans actually promotes cobra and other snake population around their villages where there are plenty of rats, domestic animals which becomes its preys. Piles of garbage are ideal habitat.

[@vara1499]

It's population pressure on land.

[@arthurglasso2301]

All humans put together on the planet would not even fill Rhode Island.

[@wouterswanepoel5753]

My goodness, what a beautiful specimen! Excellent job chaps! Keep up the good work! Cheers from South Africa. 🇿🇦

[@ningggg6974]

The way you capture the King Cobra is very gentle and meticulous, that's why the cobra is not agitated and not fighting, unlike other snake hunter here in YT. Commended. Great display of expertise.

[@gowrikalinga]

Thank you. Thats point. I want to show how a king cobra can/should be handled gently and never stress or harass the snake in the pretext of rescue.

[@kevinkline7242]

It seems the King cobra doesn't bite that much and that is why there are so many people with cobra videos. They act like they are super brave but never let you know that cobras are like gorillas in that they like to bluff.

One of the reasons King Cobras are so majestic, they have no interest in hurting people. They know they can, yet they always just try to leave

[@limoucheu8522]

What a big boy! You do an absolutely incredible work for preservation of Ophiophagus. We clearly see here that the animal is never agressive but defensive and your technique of the bag is probably the best. It is just here a little to small for this king size. All the best and big big congrats for your field work.

[@bharatbshetty]

May be he too didn’t anticipated that huge size😅 hence medium bag size

Kase sa pinas maliit p yung king Cobra pinapatay n pag na encounter ng mga tao... kaya hindi sila lumalaki ng ganyan kalaki sa pinas ngayon eh....... at dyan sa video n yan walang tao ang pumapatay ng king cobra sa bansa nila kaya mga super jumbo yung mga king cobra dyan eh.... kaya hindi takot sa tao yung king Cobra dyan... sa halip yung mga tao dyan ang malaki ang takot at sinasamba p nila yung king Cobra n parang Diyos nila eh

[@benerevangelista4509]

Napansin ko.... hindi nila kayang hawakan yung ulo ng King Cobra dyan... at takot n takot silang hawakan...... hindi katulad ng mga shake hunter d2 sa Pinas n parang simple lng n dakmain yung ulo ng King Cobra 😮

[@elisabetpurve2908]

[@sierralimaa]

What was the length ? Also how far away from habitation do these get released ? At any point in that region we have someone's house or field or similar right. So wont it come back to human contact again?

[@gowrikalinga]

He was 15 ft. I release within 4-6 sq km in radius. That is their home range which we found out using radio telemetry study.

[@PBG54]

You are an expert and very skilled but other snake catchers may be learning (?) from your rescue works so please incorporate safety gloves etc while handling cobras. Salutes to your work

[@gowrikalinga]

I hope they will incorporate. Snake gloves will not help in handling king cobras.

[@alainhernandez8767]

That snake is awesome. I couldn't believe this man nerves os steel.

[@ravianantharamaiah7567]

Great job, guys! Thank you for doing this.

[@sgr8798]

Dr Gowri Shankar, as a wildlife enthusiast i have couple of questions for you. 1. Once you have caught a snake, you make sure that you release them back. but probably at a different location to its actual burrow(home ) that could have been very close to where it was caught. In such a case wouldn't the snake get agitated. 2. Is it possible that the fangs of King cobra penetrate even through the cloth you use. 3. How are they able to breathe inside the cloth until you release them. Am sorry if these question looks silly but am just curious.

[@subhabratamukherjee1856]

He's too big for that pipe xD Also he made your snake handling tools look tiny xD Good job!

[@shamdoundyakhed5314]

Snakes are beneficial to farms, they keep the rodent population in check. Although venomous snakes are fearsome, they seldom attack unprovoked. And in the rare case they do bite a human, it’s mainly a dry bite, no venom is used because humans are not prey. Fear and greed drives us to exterminate animals.
