Journalists working for an Australian news channel were startled to find a snake in the newsroom on Sunday.
A short video uploaded on Facebook showed a woman trying to bag the snake. The TV channel 9 News Darwin said a senior camera person first spotted the snake curled up next to a computer in one of the editing suites.
The woman pulled the snake out using a piece of wire, held it with her bare hands while trying to bundle it inside a shopping bag. Kate Limon, a journalist working for the channel, filmed the incident and posted the video on Twitter.
The ease with which the employee dealt with the snake has impressed the netizens.
