The human reaction – Viaggi.nanopress.it
One of the most common fears many of us have is the fear of encountering dangerous animals. In the world, of course depending on the area in which we live, there are different species that arouse fear because of their aggressiveness and often extreme danger. Of course, not all animals are the same.
One of the most feared species is the snake. There are several species, and one of the best known is precisely that of today’s story, the cobra. Cobras are considered one of the most fascinating and dangerous species of snakes, but they are also often hunted and traded.
I’m about to be attacked by two cobras. Where did that happen?
Indeed, their skin is highly valued in the fashion industry and their organs are used for medical studies in different countries.
Some subspecies of the cobra are therefore considered endangered. They feed mainly on small reptiles, but also mice, lizards and birds. In this sense, they are considered to be very beneficial to the environment as they help control the population of rodents and other small animals.
They are really deadly and dangerous. They defend themselves in two main ways. One is to emit a distinctive hissing sound made by the air passing through their signature hood. They do this when they feel threatened and it is a form of warning of other predators and humans. If that’s not enough, they switch to biting. They are quick and instinctive, and their venom can be deadly.

In that sense, what happened to the protagonist of this story is truly incredible. He is attacked by two cobras and reacts unexpectedly. Is called Jitendra Sarathi, and is part of the Wildlife Rescue Team. The Wildlife Rescue Team is an association established to protect and preserve the natural heritage and biodiversity of India. She has been involved in wildlife protection and habitat preservation for years.
The story of Jitenda Sarathi and her rescue
Not only, The organization researches biodiversityand conducts continuous research so that alternative and sustainable livelihoods can be created for the communities of the past. That is, everyone who, even today, still depends on wild animals for sustenance.
Jitendra Sarathi, as an active member of the organization, He was involved in the release of two cobras in an environment that was ideal for them. He was actually in the state of Chattisgarh, more precisely in the district of Korba, accompanied by other operators.
The problem arose when, after being released, the two sizeable cobras felt threatened by the males and took up a position meant to sound the alarm. That is, the one in which they prepare for an attack.
Luckily, it’s very easy to understand, because normally the specimen assumes an upright position, almost seeming to grow tall and widening the typical hood, as if it were a giant headset. The attempt to bite usually follows quickly.

Praise certainly goes to Sarathi’s cold-bloodedness, who thought the two serpents might be thirsty after the journey that was to take them to Korba. With cautious movements, he approached a bottle of water to quench his thirst. And the two cobras ran. All under the incredulous and admiring eyes of his companions, who filmed the events.
The video went viral within hours, which is widespread in practically all social networks. And numerous positive comments from users who are definitely convinced of the speed and calmness of the man. An amazing story with a happy ending. Because the bite of the cobra that we said is really deadly.
The venom of this snake species as well as that of the equally dangerous green mamba is neurotoxic. This means that the ability to breathe, swallow and often express yourself is impaired. If you get hit, you immediately feel dizzy. The snake usually leaves two tracks.
What to do in case of a bite? Call for help and immobilize the affected limb. Trying to limit flow between the bite site and the heart. If the condition worsens while waiting for help, it may sometimes be necessary to practice cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers.
