An enormous cobra was discovered in a toilet at a hydropower station in Zhenfeng County, China last week.  

One group of brave firemen used a snake catcher on to clamp the cobra’s head, while another opened the toilet’s drainage pipe from the bottom to push the snake upwards. 

After the poisonous snake was captured, local forest police helped the firefighters to safely release it back into the wild.
