BREAKING NEWS!! NEW KING COBRA SPECIES!

Say hello to O. salvatana & O. bungarus and goodbye to O. hannah!

The Philippines now has 2 species of King Cobras - The Ophiophagus salvatana and Ophiophagus bungarus, according to the latest study by Shankar, Das & Wüster, 2024

With that, Let me take this moment to talk about our research, the King Cobra Initiative Philippines, which is aims to conserve King Cobras in the Philippines through science, education and citizen-science. Now that we have 2 species, it is all the more important to conserve them!!

With your help in reporting these sightings, we can identify communities at higher risk of human-cobra encounters. This data-driven approach also helps understand the king cobra's habitat needs and behavior, enabling more effective conservation strategies while fostering community involvement in protecting these vulnerable species.

You can be a part of this project by reporting sightings of King Cobras AND other cobra species found in the Philippines through the form tinyurl.com/reportacobra

Please follow the page King Cobra Initiative Philippines for more!

I looked at the pairing when I put the eggs in the incubator and second guessed myself. Yeah NO! Not anymore!
