In a captivating wildlife encounter in Karnataka’s Saligrama, a viral video is making waves on the internet, showcasing a remarkable display of courage and skill as an elderly man and a minor boy team up to rescue a massive python. The video, which has garnered attention on social media platform X, unfolds with the elderly man holding the python’s tail and attempting to pull it out of the bushes. Shortly after, a young boy joins him in the risky endeavor, seizing the snake’s neck. Working together, they successfully bring the sizable snake out of the bushes and secure it inside a sack, presumably to release it back into the forest.
The video, shared by Dr. Durgaprasad Hegde, is captioned, ”Daredevil act at Saligrama #Kundapura. Heroic act by this child but it’s very dangerous too.”

Online spectators were left in awe and surprise by the daring act, with comments reflecting a mix of admiration and concern. Some users expressed reservations about the potential danger, particularly questioning the involvement of the minor boy in the rescue.
One user suggested, ”The child seems to be getting trained under this gentleman.” Another speculated, ”They probably belong to a certain tribe in the south who are experts in catching snakes from childhood, but this is a big one to handle.”
A third commenter noted, ”Courage and commonsense have a rare union. A bunch of onlookers for the old man and the child catching the python, safely at a distance where they can vanish fast by any chance if the python coils the child.” The video has ignited discussions about the extraordinary rescue and the risks involved in such daring encounters with wildlife.
