A huge snake entered an 80-foot-deep well, to hunt birds, in a village near Ahmednagar in western India. <br /><br />The brave owner of the well covered a hole where it had taken refuge and called for help. <br /><br />Akash Jadav and his team from Wildlife Rescue Society went to the well to rescue the snake. <br /><br />The rescue was risky as they were not sure the kind of snake they were dealing with. <br /><br />They also had to descend deep into the well and attempt a mid-air rescue while precariously hanging on a number of ropes. <br /><br />Akash and his teammate, Nawaz Shaikh, went down the well using the stone steps. <br /><br />They removed the bricks, which had covered the hole, and tried to pull the snake out with a stick. <br /><br />The snake which had stubbornly lodged itself inside would not come out. <br /><br />They then took a stick and tried to prod the snake. <br /><br />After nearly 10 minutes of poking the snake suddenly leapt out startling them. <br /><br />Nawaz tried to grab the snake but fell into the water along with it. <br /><br />Though he climbed up, it was impossible to catch it with a snake-stick, as it kept swimming in the water. <br /><br />Nawaz had to jump into the well again and drive it towards Akash who was waiting on the steps. <br /><br />He grabbed it by its tail and handed it to an associate who took it to the surface. <br /><br />The snake was later freed in the wild.<br /><br />The footage was captured on November 13, 2019.
