King Cobra snake found in a drain pipe in Malaysia

On April 3rd, a king cobra sought refuge in a storm drain in Perlis, Malaysia, to escape the heat. Members of the Perlis Civil Defence Force captured the snake by hand at the Perlis Port National Youth Technical Institute.

The snake, initially hiding in the drain, was pulled out by its tail, and then its head was dragged out. It tried to attack the officers several times but was eventually subdued when one of the officers firmly grasped its neck.
