Cobras are among the most feared creatures in the wild, and their mere presence can send shivers down anyone’s spine. But one man’s calm and calculated approach to handling a highly agitated cobra has stunned social media. A viral video of a man fearlessly capturing a cobra using nothing but a plastic bottle has left the Internet in awe. Demonstrating incredible composure, he manages to trap the venomous snake inside the bottle without any professional tools, ensuring its safety by punching small holes for ventilation. The now-viral video, shared on X, shows the tense encounter. The cobra, clearly agitated, flares its hood and hisses as the man slowly approaches. But instead of panicking, he stays cool, carefully assessing the situation. In his hand is a regular plastic bottle with the cap removed. He positions the open end toward the snake, hoping to coax it inside. At first, the cobra resists, snapping back in defense. But the man is patient. He keeps trying, inching the bottle closer each time. Eventually, something unexpected happens—the snake, instead of striking, slithers straight into the bottle. The post was shared with a caption, "Interesting method for catching snakes."

Snakes often explore small, dark spaces that resemble the burrows or hiding spots they might use in the wild.” Another user wrote, “Seems overly complicated, although what would I know. I’d not be anywhere near one!” A third user said, “I prefer to just run as fast as I can.”
