A woman in Bengaluru got the shock of her life after a live cobra allegedly crawled out of her Amazon package that she had ordered online. The woman, who had ordered an Xbox controller, was left alarmed after allegedly finding the cobra inside the parcel.
Thankfully, the venomous snake was stuck to the packaging tape and couldn’t bite her.
Despite being in shock, she immediately threw the package to the ground and made a video of it to share it on social media. The shocking video shows the cobra stuck in the packaging tape attempting to escape.
The cobra has been identified as a possible Spectacled Cobra, a highly venomous snake species indigenous to Karnataka. The snake was later captured and released in a safe place. The video has been going crazy viral on social media with people going crazy in the comments section, forcing Amazon to respond.
In response, Amazon Help tweeted, “We’re sorry to know about the inconvenience you’ve had with the Amazon order. We’d like to have this checked. Please share the required details here, and our team will get back to you soon with an update.”
However, the online retailer was subjected to brutal trolling online for such incidents that could have put the life of the woman in danger.
“So, Amazon is now delivering cobra as well. This is absolutely shocking,” a user wrote. “New fear unlocked,” shared a second user.
A third user commented, “Can someone please explain the events that led to a live snake being delivered in the Amazon package?”
