WATCH: 10-Foot-Long King Cobra Rescued From Train in Uttarakhand

A deadly King Cobra was recently discovered in a superfast train in Uttarakhand. The 10-feet-long reptile was found near the compartment door, coiled above the wagon wheels of the train.

When the train stopped at the Kathgodam station, Uttarakhand Forest Department and RPF set on a joint rescue operation to safely remove the cobra.

A video of the rescue operation was shared on Twitter by Dr PM Dhakata, who is a Field Forester with the Uttarakhand Forest Department.
