The cobra reportedly measured 4.5 metres (nearly 14 feet) and weighed over 10 kilograms.

As per news website Thaiger, locals in the Thai province of Krabi informed concerned authorities after the snake snuck into a palm plantation and was trying to hide in a septic tank.
Naewhaad released the king cobra in its natural habitat after catching it and said cobra could probably be looking for its mate. Recently, locals had killed another cobra.
