Considering the comfort of human homes, snakes seem to be out in the quest for it. While that is just one side of the story, a King Cobra was recently found on a super-fast train in Uttarakhand. The 10-foot-long snake was coiled up above the wagon wheels near the door of the compartment. Fortunately, nobody was injured and the snake was rescued by the forest department. Four-Metre Long King Cobra Rescued From Sewer in Thailand (Watch Video)
