His own king cobra encounter

THE EAR - The Freeman

February 3, 2024 | 12:00am

CAREFUL. After hearing that a farmer may have been killed by a king cobra, an EAR source narrated his own experience with king cobras in Ormoc City.

He had a house built in a lot near the mountains, but it was so infested with king cobras it took some time to clear it.

However, he said the king cobras they encountered weren’t vicious; they didn’t even attack any of their workers. They just slithered away when they detected human presence.
