In Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad region in Maharashtra), wildlife experts recently rescued two venomous snakes — a pair of Russell’s vipers — and a large Indian Rock python that were found near people’s homes and workplaces, giving them a second chance in the wild. The vipers had entered a farm well near Sukhana Dam, while the python was discovered inside an industrial unit in the Shendra MIDC area. Forest-department staff and trained rescuers safely captured the snakes and released them back into natural habitat under supervision, avoiding harm to both humans and animals. The Times of India
The rescues have drawn attention because snakes like these sometimes cause fear, but they’re also an important part of nature — helping keep rodent numbers down and balancing the environment. The experts who handled the rescue say it’s important to stay calm and call trained wildlife-rescue teams if you ever spot a wild animal nearby. The Times of India
For kids and families, this is a helpful reminder: when wild animals wander near human homes — especially in places where forests, farms, and towns meet — it’s best to stay safe, stay calm, and let experts handle the situation. Panic or trying to catch such animals can be dangerous.
The successful rescue also shows the kindness and care possible when humans and nature work together: by respecting wildlife, giving space, and using care and understanding instead of fear. It helps build a world where animals and people can co-exist safely.
Kid-Friendly Summary:
Wildlife rescuers in Sambhajinagar safely rescued two venomous vipers and a large python that had crept near human spaces — reminding everyone that wild animals sometimes come close, and the best way to stay safe is to call trained helpers.
Learning Takeaway:
Wild animals are part of Earth’s big family; when we see them near us, being calm, respectful and seeking help helps animals stay safe — and keeps people safe too.
