Huge 9-foot-long snake released after getting trapped in netting in eastern India

A huge 9-foot-long snake was released after becoming entangled in a fishing net in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, eastern India.

Footage filmed in Khunta on September 5 shows a snake rescuer cutting the common banded krait out of the netting.

Wildlife expert Vanumitra Acharya said the reason for such a huge snake to venture into villages is that their environment is being destroyed.
