So, spotting them in the unlikeliest of places is extremely common. In a similar incident, a snake was caught hiding inside a scooterette. A video of a man, who is also a conservationist, trying to rescue the giant cobra has caught internet's attention. The scary thing is that the man caught the cobra with only his bare hands.
The clip has been shared on Instagram by user named @avinashyadav_26. According to his Instagram bio, Avinash Yadav is a conservationist and regularly posts interesting clips about different species of snakes.
