A video of a man holding a massive King Cobra with nothing but his bare hands has left the internet absolutely stunned.
Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan shared the eleven-second clip in a post on X with viewers marvelling at the sheer size of the snake and the man’s fearless composure.
Kaswan, known for sharing intriguing insights from the wild, accompanied the video with a caption that read: “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.”

While the exact location of the footage is not mentioned, King Cobras are typically found in the forests of the Western Ghats, the Northeast, and parts of Odisha.
Recognised as the world’s longest venomous snake, a King Cobra can grow up to 18 feet in length and delivers a neurotoxic venom potent enough to kill an elephant.
Earlier this week, a video of a Kerala woman forest officer rescuing a huge King Cobra from a stream near Peppara in Thiruvananthapuram went viral on social media.
