Cold-blooded animals straying into human habitats and greeting people at unusual places is a rare phenomenon. Over the years, there have been various instances when snakes have strayed into the life of people from nearby forests, either in search of prey or looking for a stay or two.

Recently, a viral video of a snake taking refuge in a toilet bowl has taken the internet by storm. A Bengaluru man was stunned to find a massive cobra curled up inside the toilet bowl at his residence when he woke up from his sleep. The man, identified as Pramod Kumar, who is a resident of JP Nagar 7th Phase, found the five-foot-long reptile inside the toilet on June 9. Now, the video of the reptile being rescued from the toilet has gone viral on social media.
