Bengaluru, June 19, 2024: Mix-ups and misplacements are known to happen when it comes to online product delivery. However, a woman in Bengaluru got the shock of her life when she found a live cobra inside her Amazon package. Notably, the woman, residing on Sarjapur Road, had ordered an Xbox controller from the online retailer but was left alarmed to find the slithering surprise when she opened the parcel. Thankfully, the venomous snake was stuck to packaging tape, and couldn’t harm her.

Despite the initial shock, she managed to take a video of the incident and share it on social media. The video shows the half-opened Amazon package kept inside a bucket. Meanwhile, the cobra stuck in the packaging tape is seen attempting to escape.
