In all the 20 years I have been studying and rescuing king cobras in Agumbe, this remarkable male that I rescued on the 31st of March surprised me. While the average weight for males falls between 3.5 to 6 Kg and for females between 2 to 3.5 Kg, this massive king cobra weighed a whopping 12.5kg! Everything about this king cobra was huge in weight, length, and girth. Such rescues instil hope that king cobras of such size thrive in these regions, largely due to people's tolerance and the prey base they have access to. The best we can do is to ensure that these forests and animals continue to exist. Let's pledge to preserve our forests

The way you capture the King Cobra is very gentle and meticulous, that's why the cobra is not agitated and not fighting, unlike other snake hunter here in YT. Commended. Great display of expertise.

Beautiful king cobra , too many humans taking up their space. At least you rescued him from harm, well done 🙏.

What a big boy! You do an absolutely incredible work for preservation of Ophiophagus. We clearly see here that the animal is never agressive but defensive and your technique of the bag is probably the best. It is just here a little to small for this king size. All the best and big big congrats for your field work.

that's a big snake alright, even for a king cobra. there is something special about them, when they stand up and look at whoever dares to be near them... 🐍

Surely the most intelligent species on the planet, not to mention the most magnificent snake you will ever encounter. They have a way of allowing humans to interact with them! Great rescue and release, love your channel! 🙏🙏

Snakes are beneficial to farms, they keep the rodent population in check. Although venomous snakes are fearsome, they seldom attack unprovoked. And in the rare case they do bite a human, it’s mainly a dry bite, no venom is used because humans are not prey. Fear and greed drives us to exterminate animals.
