Last Updated:
The video, shared by IFS Officer Praveen Kaswan, shows the man's fearless composure who calmly grips the massive King Cobra.
What is the first thing you would do if you get to see a live King Cobra in front of you? That's exactly what Indian Forest Service (IFS) Officer Praveen Kaswan has wondered. The Forest Officer, who keeps stunning us with extraordinary videos from the animal kingdom, has done it again. In the latest, Kaswan shared a clip of a man holding a King Cobra with his bare hands.
King Cobra is considered the world's longest venomous snake and among the heaviest. The 11-second footage, shared by Kaswan, beautifully depicts the man's fearless composure. He calmly grips the massive reptile whose enormous size has left viewers jaw-dropped.
'If you ever wondered about the real size of King cobra. Do you know where it is found in India? And what to do when you see one!!" Praveen Kaswan wrote in the caption of the video.

No wonder social media users were thrilled to watch such a clip. While the exact location of the video could not be ascertained, King Cobras are by and large found in the forests of the Western Ghats, the Northeast, and parts of Odisha.
'Q: what do you do when you see one? A: Run, run, run as far away as possible," a person wrote in the comments.
'Mostly western and eastern ghats," another user said.
'Those who get this darshan and are aware about escape velocity," an individual hilariously added.
A user suggested, 'I have seen one in Western Ghats. The best thing to do is be slow and put distance between you and Cobra."
In the comment section, a person named Praveen Singh dropped another King Cobra video and said that it was clicked by him in Himachal Pradesh. The video, which was taken from a distance and posted in 2021, showed the reptile crawling up a cliff.
