The cobra was found on the loft of Kiran Kumar’s house, Hongadahalla
village of Sakleshpur taluk, near here at about 8.30am on Sunday. It
had swallowed a large snake that was in the nearby lake and crawled up
in the loft.
The terrified locals informed Malnad Janapara Horata Samiti president
Kishore Kumar, who arrived with reptile expert Sesappa, Punit,
Sasikumar, Chandru and managed to rescue the cobra and released at
Bisile Reserve Forest by Sunday night.
The cobra that is usually found in Western Ghats is venturing into inhabited lands owing to shortage of food that was caused by aforestation. The rat snakes are the sought after food for these cobras that come searching in inhabited areas.
