A deadly cobra was rescued from 35-foot-deep well using a steel bucket on July 30 in western India.<br /><br />The cobra was rescued after residents of Ratadgav near Ahmednagar spotted the reptile and alerted the Animal Rescue Society. <br /><br />Akash Jadhav and his team went to the village and found that the cobra could be easily reached as the water was about 35-feet below the surface. They lowered a steel bucket into the well and dangled it before the snake hoping that it would get in. <br /><br />After several attempts, the team managed to pull the cobra up, put it in a snake bag and released it later in the wild.<br /><br />Akash said: “We assured the villagers that the water was safe to drink. Cobras inject poison only when they bite someone.”
