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
Beautiful king cobra , too many humans taking up their space. At least you rescued him from harm, well done 🙏.
the real expert who makes a difference .Not youtube wildlife celebrities
May God bless you for rescuing and relocating such a grand serpent!!!
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.
Thank you. Thats point. I want to show how a king cobra can/should be handled gently and never stress or harass the snake in the pretext of rescue.
Magnificent creature beautiful ❤
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.
May be he too didn’t anticipated that huge size😅 hence medium bag size
The respect in his eyes when he releases it!!! wow
What a beauty this king ❤
Amazing snake, good work!
It is a joy to see your work of adding it to the lap of nature😊😊😊
Thank you
Gotta be at least 16-17',but his girth is the most amazing thing .jeez!
Yes, Girth is amazing. He was 15 ft.
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... 🐍
absolutely agree
Congratuletions, god work , u saludo desde Málaga, Andalucía, Spain.😊
I'am a avid viewer of snake rescues. Yes you are right, this is the biggest I viewed ever in all videos. Good job. 💪
Thanks
The snake cooperated quite well, it didnt resist or fight at all. It probably knew it was being recused.
That's real King 👑
What was the length ? Also how far away from habitation do these get released ? At any point in that region we have someone's house or field or similar right. So wont it come back to human contact again?
He was 15 ft. I release within 4-6 sq km in radius. That is their home range which we found out using radio telemetry study.
What a beautiful snake..
There is a reason why they are called king cobra.
What a beautiful specimen. Must be one of the biggest ever filmed.
You are right. It will be published soon.
Had seen capture of one beauty in a bamboo forest in south India. That was even bigger. Sadly not able to search it out again. That KC was awe inspiring too like this fellow.
Very professional. Salute to you sir.
Thank you
God bless you sir 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🕉🙏🙏🙏🙏
huge and fast and venomous deadly combination
Now that is truly a... KING ...🙏 Beautiful Godly looking Specimen...!!!
Beau king cobra le relâcher dans la foret❤❤❤
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.
King cobra doesnt eat rodent. they eat snakes
@@paxcssr not necessarily., rodents are a big part of a snakes prey!
@@shamdoundyakhed5314 king cobra eats snakes. Not rodent. Its thier diet. Google it.
@@shamdoundyakhed5314Not all snakes eat rodents!!
@@shamdoundyakhed5314Rat snakes eat rats and king cobras eat rat snakes!
Even if onr dosent go there, it'll eventually drift away!!! It's NOT interested in meeting us!! Great work!!!
Great work
wow great work
Great job
Love your work sir, I am a huge fan of snakes!
Thank you.
Love from kolkata
Amazing video ❤️
Am watching you guys from Philippines we hame a king Cobra also in Philippines but not really super size
Meron din ung nahuli nila cobra prince or ng mga team cobra
Kase sa pinas maliit p yung king Cobra pinapatay n pag na encounter ng mga tao... kaya hindi sila lumalaki ng ganyan kalaki sa pinas ngayon eh....... at dyan sa video n yan walang tao ang pumapatay ng king cobra sa bansa nila kaya mga super jumbo yung mga king cobra dyan eh.... kaya hindi takot sa tao yung king Cobra dyan... sa halip yung mga tao dyan ang malaki ang takot at sinasamba p nila yung king Cobra n parang Diyos nila eh
Napansin ko.... hindi nila kayang hawakan yung ulo ng King Cobra dyan... at takot n takot silang hawakan...... hindi katulad ng mga shake hunter d2 sa Pinas n parang simple lng n dakmain yung ulo ng King Cobra 😮
Thats nice. Some day I want to visit Philippine islands to see your king cobras.
It massive King Cobra. I watch a lot of snake rescuer One of the best here in the Philippines Cobra Prince and his entire Cobra Team.
Oh ok. Can I get their contacts? I would love to communicate with them and some day if possible I would like to visit them.
@@gowrikalinga You can search they Channel. They leave their contact there. Cobra King, Cobra Prince, Tol Cobra, Baitan Cobra, and Cobra Team.
Just like Cobra Prince Philippines!
great job
Such a Majestic snake and the most poisonous but still it's just trying to get away and not attack the person trying to catch it. It's the King..
Thanks for your service to the Universe Sir. Good karma will come back …
Can you imagine you’re making your way through really tall thick grass and suddenly right there towering over you is a…
Very unlikely...but I will be very happy to be in that position :- )
Don't have to tower over me, just above the waist will definitely scare the shoot out of me.
Amazing

Thank you
Great work sir, not only people but these animals also has the right to live🙏🙏
absolutely
Hatsapp sir 🎉❤
Did you mean WhatsApp?🤔
Awesome 🎉
How old is a snake that size?? What's their lifespan in the wild typically?
He might be around 18 or 20 years. We don't know their lifespan in the wild, while in captivity I have calculated around 25 years.
@@gowrikalinga Thank you for the info!! Amazing, beautiful creature that scares the hell out of me 😅but I'm thankful there are experts like you that can handle and respect them and in this case get this individual out of a situation that likely would have ended poorly for him otherwise.
You are an expert and very skilled but other snake catchers may be learning (?) from your rescue works so please incorporate safety gloves etc while handling cobras. Salutes to your work
I hope they will incorporate. Snake gloves will not help in handling king cobras.
wow huge!
Where is caption 😢😢😢😢?
In Mysore snake shyam and Surya keerthi
Mighty king
Awesome work. 👌 Just one thing, try to put the snake in the plastic container as that way the serpent wouldn't be able to bite through the bag. Just want you guys to be very safe. That's all. 😊
Thank you very much, I appreciate your concern.
What a bruiser!
Huge ❤
Huge!!!!
Not to be obscure but does the guy with the snake have a third appendage 😮😮😮
Clever technique of catching big snakes.
Yes, pipe and bag technique is one of the unique techniques to capture huge snakes.
Great work. Your videos will reach further if you could have sub titles to over come language challenge.🎉
Sure, working on it. Thanks.
New friends from the Philippines PECUNIO BROTHERS The Legend of Cobra Hunters in BICOL Philippines. My father caught a giant king Cobra since 1959 here in UMALO, LIBMANAN, CAMARINES SUR. WEIGHTING 18KLS and 11 feet long. Until now found in Manila zoo it preserve or looking at the picture.

He is in human habitation, both humans and snake is rescued in this situation. Should we call this operation something else? Suggestions please?

ನಮ್ಮ ಮಲೆನಾಡು Cobra🪱
👏👏👏🇮🇹
That’s a biggun😂
you didnt get its length
with my experience with captive ones, I would estimate this to 15 ft.
i think this one is a stage. quite fake when they found it.
ha..ha...good joke :-)
You're gonna need a bigger bag.
oh, yes. I agree :-)
🫣🫣🫣🫣😮😮😮😮 watching from d Philippines😅
great :-)
Anacondish cobra...
Get a job as a bus driver
What made you tell him get a bus driver job
Your so weak to caught a king cobra
ha..ha...yes, I am :-)
Snakes run away from humans. You leave them alone and all will be well.
Humm..thats what we try to do. But when they are inside the house or even closer to the house its important to rescue and release them far away from human habitation. Its safe for both.
Fake, staged.
Proof??
good joke. Why don't you come with me and stage it up :-)
Awesome 🎉
