On Saturday, a 2.5-meter caninana snake was discovered coiled on the roof of a residence in Groslândia, a district of Lucas do Rio Verde, which is located 332 km from Cuiabá, Brazil. The local fire department was alerted around 10 AM following reports from the residents, who were understandably alarmed by the presence of the snake on their property. Firefighters quickly arrived on the scene and were able to locate the large serpent resting on the roof of the house.

During the rescue operation, it was noted that the residents were frightened yet curious, as they recorded the incident on video. The rescue team handled the snake with care, ensuring that the animal was not harmed during the operation. Upon examination, firefighters confirmed that the snake did not have any injuries. Following the successful capture, the caninana was transported to a suitable area and released back into its natural habitat, ensuring its safety as well as that of the residents.

This incident highlights the encounters between humans and wildlife, particularly in areas where natural habitats overlap with residential zones. The swift response by the fire department not only ensured the safety of both the residents and the snake but also emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting local wildlife. Such occurrences are reminders of the presence of diverse wildlife in Brazil and the need for education on how to respond to similar situations safely and effectively.
