The first thing that springs to mind when you think of a snake is terror! A video has gone popular on social media in which a man is seen performing a risky stunt with three cobras, giving you shivers.
Maaz Sayed, a snake enthusiast from Sirsi, Karnataka, was seen handling three cobras in a video uploaded by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, but it ended horribly when one of the snakes attacked him.
In the video, Sayed, 20, is seen sitting in a forest in front of cobras. By pulling their tails and moving his hands in a circular way, he entices the snakes. One snake bites the stuntman’s knees with his hood up. The snake refused to go despite the man’s best efforts.

Maaz has been admitted to a hospital and is being treated for his injuries, the president and founder of Snakebite Healing & Education Society, Priyanka Kadam, published a Facebook post showing Mazz laying in a hospital bed after being bitten by a snake. A close-up of Maaz’s wound reveals that the poison has turned his skin black.
Maaz required 46 vials of anti-venom, according to a Facebook post by Atul Pai, a snake and animal rescuer. He stated that Maaz had survived the tragic incident and was now healing in a private hospital.
She wrote, “An expert can perhaps try guiding him. He wasn’t arrogant. Spoke respectfully. He is still unwell. Will connect with him once he fully recovers.”
