A video of a man catching king cobra with his bare hands in Thailand is going viral on social media.

The cobra reportedly measured 4.5 metres (nearly 14 feet) and weighed over 10 kilograms. The volunteer who caught the giant cobra has been identified as Sutee Naewhaad, who works with Ao Nang Subdistrict Administrative Organisation. Naewhaad first lured the snake out onto an open road and then began his attempt to catch it.
