Largest king cobra rescued

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
