Cobra Encounter? Stay Safe: Essential Tips to Avoid Strikes

• Maintain a safe distance of several meters; never provoke or try to touch the cobra.
• Move slowly and deliberately, avoiding sudden movements that might startle the snake.
• Alert others nearby if you spot a cobra to prevent accidental encounters.
• Watch the snake's head for warning signs like a raised hood or hissing.
• If in a populated area, call local wildlife authorities for safe relocation; do not attempt to capture it yourself.
