Cobras are one of the most feared reptiles, known for their venomous bite and intimidating hood. Encountering one inside a home would send most people into panic, but one man’s fearless response has left the internet stunned. A viral video shows him calmly capturing the snake using nothing but a plastic bottle, handling the situation with remarkable skill and composure. The jaw-dropping rescue has amazed social media users, who can’t stop praising his courage.
A viral video circulating on X captures the tense moment as a cobra, visibly agitated, flares its hood and hisses while a man cautiously moves closer. Rather than reacting with fear, he remains calm and focused, carefully assessing the situation. Holding a simple plastic bottle with the cap removed, he skillfully positions the open end near the snake, attempting to guide it inside.
The cobra initially puts up a fight, recoiling and striking in defense. But the man remains patient, steadily moving the bottle closer with each attempt. His persistence pays off when, instead of attacking, the snake suddenly makes an unexpected move—it slithers straight into the bottle on its own. The man's success was likely due to the snake's natural instinct to seek shelter in a confined space. To keep the snake safe, the man later punches small holes in the bottle, allowing air to circulate and ensuring the cobra gets enough oxygen.
