This is the terrifying moment an aggressive wild cobra tried to attack locals after it was caught down the side of a house.<br /><br />The residents called for help after noticing the serpent hiding under bags of compost on the property in Krabi province, southern Thailand, on June 5.<br /><br />When snake wranglers arrived at the scene they were met with an unusually fierce female snake that began hissing menacingly an lunging at them.<br /><br />Excited locals gathered round to film the snake as cobra expert, Panya, and his team coaxed the snake into a blue sack.<br /><br />It was eventually subdued and stuffed into the bag before being driven away and released into the jungle.<br /><br />Panya said: "The cobra was young and aggressive. Sometimes younger snakes can be the most dangerous as they will strike indiscriminately, while older, more experienced cobras can be more reserved.<br /><br />''It is good that the resident called us in time before the snake had chance to harm any of the family.''
