Snakes can be scary and encountering a king cobra can make chills run down the spine.
CEO and founder of Zoho Corporation Sridhar Vembu has tweeted two pictures of a 12-foot king cobra that visited him recently.
In one of the photos, Vembu and a group of forest rangers are seen holding the snake.
He captioned it, “A rare 12 feet long King Cobra paid us a visit”, adding that, “Our awesome local forest rangers arrived and caught it for release in the nearby hills. Here is the brave me attempting to touch it. A very auspicious day!”
