Amrit Sharma, a resident of Sunabeda in eastern India, was getting ready to go to work when he reached for his shoes and heard a 'hiss' sound coming from one of them. <br /><br />When he looked closely he was shocked to find a yellow cobra curled up inside a shoe and staring back at him. <br /><br />He immediately called a local Snake Helpline volunteer Sujit Kumar Mohanty, who rushed to his house and removed the 2.5-foot-long cobra from the shoe. <br /><br />Snake Helpline General Secretary Subhendu Mallik said: “We have seen frogs waiting inside shoes looking for insects and snakes may enter shoes to hunt them. People who keep shoes outside should check before putting them on.”<br /><br />The cobra was later released in its natural habitat.
