      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
