Local wildlife rescuer revives unconscious snake with CPR

In Gujarat’s Vadodara, a local wildlife rescuer performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a snake. Yash Tadvi, the rescuer, discovered a one-foot-long checkered keelback laying still. Tadvi acted quickly.

Holding the snake cautiously by the neck, he opened its mouth and started blowing air. He attempted CPR thrice. Tadvi remained hopeful despite the fact that his first two attempts were in vain. The third time, the snake moved and regained consciousness.

The dramatic rescue was captured on video and shared by the ‘My Vadodara’ account on X.

This wasn’t the first time humans were seen saving animals by performing CPR. In Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr, in May 2024, Vikas Tomar, the head constable, rescued a monkey who had fallen from a branch and collapsed, probably as a result of the extreme heat. Despite the animal’s apparent lack of vitality, Tomar was able to administer CPR on the agitated animal with the assistance of his fellow cops.
