This is the terrifying moment a 4-foot-long cobra was found hiding inside the headlights of a motorscooter in central India.
The owner of the vehicle discovered the reptile on March 24th and called local snake-catcher, K Ramesh.
Ramesh managed to prise open the compartment containing the headlights and the cobra sprung out aggressively.
He then encouraged the snake to enter a large empty water bottle which he quickly sealed, safely trapping the snake.
The cobra was handed over to the forest department for relocation.
