Soldier does not catch the king cobra

With a few simple movements, the army soldier quickly suppressed the venomous snake and took only a minute to capture it in his hand.

The soldier in the army's army green outfit clashed with the king cobra longer than 2 meters while walking along a dirt road. He stood with his hands on his sides and stared at the venomous snake, then changed his posture by gently bending the pillow and hiding his left hand behind his back, while lifting his right hand above his head and lowering it down above the snake.

The soldier adjusted the distance and calmly leaned forward. The snake was completely motionless as he moved closer and touched its head. Finally, the soldier gently pressed the snake's head until it touched the ground and quickly grabbed it before pressing on the snake's body. The serpent struggled trying to escape but could not escape the hand of the soldier.

The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is distributed mainly in tropical areas from India to Southeast Asia. This is the longest poisonous snake in the world with a maximum length of 7 meters. They mainly eat cannibals and other snakes and small vertebrates such as lizards and mice. The amount of venom produced in one bite of them can kill up to 20 adults or kill an adult elephant within hours.
