The cobra regurgitated a whole snake before it was placed in a bag and released into the wild
The poorly reptile was spotted by farmer Rashid Khan on his land in Manchar Village, Western India.
He helped it regurgitate the other snake while another person filmed the process.
Mr Khan said: 'Sometimes the cobra would flare its hood and look straight at us at other times he would roll of the ground. It seemed to be writing in pain.'
The farmer saw from a distance that the cobra could not move and was choking.
'While the Common Indian Krait is a species of venomous snake found in the jungles, the Green Vine Snake is mildly venomous and normally feeds on frogs and lizards,' said Sujith, who later released the rescued Krait in the nearby forest area
The unusual video shows a common Indian krait being captured on a dairy farm in Kerala, India, near to the Kottiyoor Wildlife Sanctuary.
The slithery reptile had tried to swallow a much larger green vine snake.
Sujith Wayanad, a snake rescue volunteer with the region's forest department, who was called to catch the snake, said: 'On spotting the snake, the frightened workers at Nila dairy farm, contacted the forest department who told me to rescue the snake.
'After reaching the spot, I found that the snake had ensconced itself in thick shrubs.
People were struck dead in the Sohela area of Bargarh district, Basudevpur area of Bhadrak district, Soro area of Balasore district, Kolabira area of Jharsuguda, Bhandari Pokhari of Bhadrak, Bisra of Rourkela and Mahakalpada in Kendrapara district.
Similarly, as many as 11 cows died in lightning strike in Kundapatna village of Jajpur district.
Notably, on Thursday night also, one person died of lightning strike in Brahmagiri, Puri. The deceased has been identified as Brahmar Baral, who had gone to the village pond nearby when the wind was strong. While returning, he was struck by lightning.
Comment: A day earlier in the same Indian state, a lightning bolt killed a couple and injured 3 others.

An 11-year-old girl is being treated in hospital following a suspected shark at a Spanish holiday resort. Pictured: Her injuries
The alleged attack off Grao de Moncofa, a hotspot for British tourists just south of Benicassim, left the girl with deep wounds on her foot.
After lifeguards plugged the heavy bleeding, she was rushed to the nearest medical centre on Saturday, according to local mayor Wenceslao Alos.
Mr Alos said it was likely she was attacked by a small type of shark measuring between 60cm and 70cm.
The lifeguards said they had 'never seen anything like' the attack but would not confirm it was a shark bite, El Periodico reported.
A Worker on a boat yesterday removes dead fish from the banks of the Keelung River in Taipei.
The city government said it expected to finish clearing the dead fish from the river today.
The Taipei Environmental Protection Bureau said that the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water near the dead fish was 3.5 milligrams per liter, which is about four to five times lower than normal.
The water temperature was 30.3oC, far higher than the average high temperature of 28.1oC in recent years, the bureau said.

Hauraki District Council chief executive Langley Cavers said the sinkhole was found this morning on a council reserve between the Waihi Rugby Club and the Martha open pit mine.
Cavers said the site, known to be above historic mine workings, was classified as a hazard zone in 2002 and was cordoned off.
"While this is inconvenient, it is within an area where sinkholes could be expected."
By Wednesday night Leeuwarden had the most rain, with 52.2 millimeters measured. Places like Grouw and Stavoren also got over 50 millimeters of rain. "Locally the total rainfall can climb up to 60 mm by [Thursday] morning", the weather agency said on Wednesday night.
According to Het Parool, the heavy rainfall caused problems across the country. Places in Gelderland, Limburg and Noord-Brabant had to deal with flooded streets. And the rain also left lanes on the A10 near Sloterdijk underwater, causing a very busy evening rush hour in Amsterdam.
