Raj Goman (King Cobra), which is considered to be the world's largest poisonous snake, has been found in Jhapa for the first time. The cow was rescued from the house of Run Bahadur Chemjong, a local resident of Buddhshanti Rural Municipality-7, Jarewar, at around 1:30 in the afternoon.

This is considered to be the first archival rescue incident in Jhapa. Young rescuer Kripesh Karki reached the spot to get information about the snake rescue. After seeing the large-sized 'Raj Goman', he asked for more help and experienced rescuers Shyam Pradhan and Birendra Tiwari also reached there. The snake was rescued after an hour-long effort by three people. 

After the rescue, the snake was brought to the Buddhashanti rural municipality office . From there, the wildlife sub-department Charali was immediately informed and two forest staff came and officially took the snake under control. The weight of the snake was about 8.5 kg and the length was 12.5 feet . 

In coordination with the District Forest Office, Bhadrapur, the snake has been restored to its natural habitat in a community forest in Birtamod, said Devendra Kharel, president of the Mechi Wildlife and Bird Conservation Society. According to Kharel, president of the

conservation society, snakes should not be killed. These are also part of nature. Especially species like 'Raj Goman' play an important role in maintaining environmental balance . Such creatures contribute to the balance of other venomous and venomous snakes to small animals. 

"However, in many places of Nepal, the practice of killing snakes on sight is still alive", Kharel said, "This trend increases the risk of destroying the environmental chain", President Kharel said . Finding 'Raj Goman' in Jhapa is a rare event in itself. This species is mostly found in the tropical forests of India, Bhutan and Assam.
