Forest official in Uttarakhand rescued two headed cobra from Kalsi forest division of Dehradun district.  

Adil Mirza, rescuing snakes for the last 15 years, now works with the forest department, said the forest department got a rescue call about a small cobra in an industrial unit premises in Vikas Nagar area of the district on Thursday.

“DFO Kalsi instructed me to go and rescue the cobra. When I went there, I was surprised as it was a two-headed spectacled cobra. In my 15 years as a snake catcher, I have never come across such a specimen. It is a very rare snake,” he said.

Mirza said the length of the cobra is around one-and-a-half feet and it seemed less than two weeks old.
