What would you do if you encountered a king cobra? Our first instinct would probably be to run. However, for firefighters who are trained to handle dangerous situations, manhandling a king cobra looks like a piece of cake!
Recently, a video of a female firefighter went viral on Twitter as netizens watched in awe as the superwoman grabbed a king cobra with her bare hands. The 59-second video first showed the female fighter approaching the deadly predator, trying to calm the snake down by placing her hand slightly above its head. Within a split second, the woman grabbed the snake by its neck as other firefighters rushed to assess the situation. She then safely removed the snake from the scene.
