A venomous black cobra, measuring one metre in length, was captured by firemen inside the canteen of Wesley Methodist School in Bandar Seri Coalfields, Selangor
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations, Ahmad Mukhlis Mokhtar, said the snake was discovered coiled next to a rubbish bin, according to the New Straits Times
Five personnel from the Batu Arang Fire Station were deployed following an emergency call.
He said the snake was successfully snared and removed from the school compound within 25 minutes
The cobra was later safely released into its natural habitat.
Malaysia is home to several species of cobras, predominantly the Equatorial Spitting Cobra and the King Cobra
Both are highly venomous and pose a potential threat to humans. These snakes commonly inhabit forests, agricultural plantations, and rural landscapes.
Cobra venom is neurotoxic, meaning it targets the nervous system and can lead to paralysis or respiratory failure. Although snakebites and encounters occur with some regularity in Malaysia, fatalities remain uncommon.
