Coimbatore: A rare albino cobra with a genetic defect was successfully captured in Coimbatore, creating a stir among local residents and wildlife enthusiasts. The venomous snake was found hiding under a water tank in the Pottanur area of Coimbatore.

Snake catcher Mohan received information about a snake lurking in the Pottanur locality. Responding promptly, Mohan arrived at the scene and skillfully rescued the snake from its hiding spot. Upon closer examination, it was revealed that the captured serpent was a rare albino cobra with a genetic abnormality.

The highly venomous white cobra was carefully secured and placed in a bottle for safe transport. Following the rescue operation, the snake was handed over to the forest department officials. They will ensure the cobra's safe release back into its natural habitat.

Mohan, the experienced snake catcher, used this incident to raise awareness about snake encounters. He strongly advised the public against attempting to catch or harm any snakes they come across. Instead, he urged people to immediately contact trained snake catchers or the forest department in such situations.

"By informing professionals, we can ensure the snake is safely rescued and released back into its natural environment," Mohan explained. He emphasized the importance of this approach in protecting both the snakes and the public.

The snake catcher also highlighted the ongoing efforts of the forest department, snake catchers, and biological volunteer organizations in safeguarding both snakes and the public. Mohan called for continued public cooperation in these wildlife conservation efforts, stressing the significance of peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife.
