A feisty four-metre (13-foot) king cobra was pulled from a sewer in southern
Thailand in an hour-long operation, a rescue foundation said Tuesday, describing the reptile as one of the largest they had ever captured.
A security guard on the housing estate where it was found first alerted the rescue group on Sunday.
"Seven rescue workers, including me, went there," said Kritkamon Kanghae, 26, adding that the estate was built on a plot that was once jungle.
