What is philippines cobra?

The Philippine Cobra, also known as the Northern Philippine Cobra, is a venomous snake found in the Philippines, specifically in the northern and central regions of Luzon, the largest island in the country.

It is considered one of the most dangerous and venomous snakes in the Philippines, and its venom can cause paralysis and even death. The venom attacks the nervous system, causing respiratory failure and cardiac arrest, if left untreated.

Despite being highly venomous, the Philippine Cobra only attacks humans when it feels threatened or provoked. It is mainly active at night, and often hides in tall grass, bushes, and trees, making it difficult to spot.

The Philippine Cobra is a slender and agile snake that can grow up to 1.5 meters long. It has distinctive black and white bands on its neck, which it can flare up when threatened. This is its signature warning display before it strikes.

The Philippine Cobra is protected by law in the Philippines, and it is illegal to hunt, capture, or kill them. They are also listed as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and hunting for their venom.
