A lifeguard finds the tiny blind worm snakes trapped in the snakes' noses in Belagavi, India.

Anand Chitti, an animal rescue worker in Belagavi, India, saw a blind worm in the nose of a cobra sniffing when snatching a snake sneaking into the industrial zone, UPI reported on September 19.

A local man called Anand Chitti until he found cobra in the land. Chitti poked the middle of the stack with a stick to pull out the snake.

People immediately recognized the blind worm snake, the smallest snake in India, stuck in the nose of a cobra and crawled out of its hiding place."I have captured about 14,000 snakes so far and have never seen anything so strange , " Chitti said.

The cobra seems to have tried to push the worm worm off its nose but failed. Chitti quickly helped the cobra to pull the dead worm worm.

This worm worm , approximately 13cm long, is an underground species. Perhaps, it had mistaken the nostrils of a cobra as a safe haven, so he got inside, Chitti said. Cobra is not injured, but may have many health problems if not promptly rescued.

"Dead worm worm can decompose, attract ants and cause serious infection for cobra," Chitti said.
