A resident of an apartment in Pune in western India saw a cobra slithering into a parked motorbike on June 14. <br /><br />He called snake rescuer Saidas Kusal, who went with his team, to the apartment in the Wagholi area of the city to rescue the snake. <br /><br />The fully grown adult cobra was very aggressive and reluctant to come out. <br /><br />Though Saidas grabbed its tail a few times, he was unable to pull it out as the snake had buried itself deep inside the bike. <br /><br />It kept hissing continuously and came out a few times to take a swipe at him. <br /><br />Saidas dismantled parts of the bike and managed to pull it out safely. It was put in a black bag and released later at a nearby habitat. <br /><br />He said: “The snake was ferocious but I am happy we worked patiently and rescued it without any incident. Due to the Corona lockdown many people are not using their vehicles making them an ideal shelter for snakes.”
