Snakes are undoubtedly beautiful beings. However, there is a certain amount of fear involved when it comes to the said reptiles, as most of them are poisonous and can be dangerous if not handled properly. There are a wide variety of snakes all over the world and it is mind-boggling to know their characteristics. One such incident happened with Zoho’s chief executive officer, Sridhar Vembu, who had a visit paid to him by a king cobra. A rare 12 feet long King Cobra paid us a visit. Our awesome local forest rangers arrived and caught it for release in the nearby hills. Here is the brave me attempting to touch itA very auspicious day! pic.twitter.com/ipf5ss7sU5 Super Anna It's a beauty . Not so auspicious for the king cobra. Relocated snakes almost certainly die. Further, the level of stress that that snake is going through when unempathetically being held up for a photos will only diminish its chances of survival. Conservation would be to leave the snake alone. Why do so many people have to "touch" and hold that animal? What's the benefit of a dozen humans holding it for a photo-op?? Try to minimise the damage and reduce the impact we're having on nature. Phew! 12 ft, huh oh my god! it looks magnificent! I wish I get to see such creations of God, sometime in the future!
King Cobra is among the largest snake species in the country. And when Vembu had an encounter with a 12-feet long cobra and shared the pictures, they went viral in no time. The businessman took to the microblogging site to share pictures of the magnificent being and exclaimed how auspicious it is to be paid a visit by a snake. In one of the pictures, the massive reptile could be seen creeping up near a tree where a mundu was hanging. In the second picture, the CEO got clicked, touching the rescued cobra which was firmly held by the forest ranger and officials.
