This snake catcher is even more cooler than Dhoni. He must be having a chat with his friend or listing to "Aalai pongera"

In a similar incident, forest officials in Odisha along with People for Animals (PFA) members rescued a 10-feet long King Cobra from the premises of Jarada Jagannath Temple in Ganjam district. The snake was later released into the wild.
Last week, a man who was driving along a highway in Australia was attacked by one of the world's deadliest snakes - an eastern brown snake. In the 1-minute 44 seconds video, the man can be seen terrified after he has a shocking encounter with the eastern brown snake.
According to the video, the eastern brown snake is a highly venomous reptile that is responsible for the majority of snakebite deaths in Australia. While sharing the video, the Queensland Police wrote, "This slimy passenger would be sure to make any driver hysssssterical!"
