Jagannath Nayak, a resident in a village near Sunabeda in eastern India, found an adult cobra sitting on his TV stand on Thursday (July 16).<br /><br />Nayak was ready to sit down to watch some TV when he heard an unusual sound. He switched on the light and approached the stand cautiously only to hear a loud hissing sound coming from behind the TV. <br /><br />Jagannath quickly left the room and called Snake Helpline for help. <br /><br />Sujit Kumar Mohanty, a volunteer at Snake Helpline, reached the spot and caught the 4.5-foot-long cobra.<br /><br />The snake was later released in a nearby forest.<br /><br />Snake Helpline founder Subhendu Mallik said: "The cobra probably entered the house following a prey and landed on the table.”
