@sunstardavao: A post by Lennon Caspe showing a photo of a #KingCobra (Ophiophagus Hannah), locally known as " #Banakon ," in Barangay Lio, #ElNido , #Palawan , has gone #viral on #socialmedia . The King #Cobra is considered the longest venomous #snake in the world, capable of growing up to nearly 6 meters. Despite its name, the King Cobra is not classified as a true cobra (naja). Experts explain that the Banakon is more closely related to mambas. A single bite from a King Cobra can kill a human within just 15 minutes. However, experts emphasize that snakes like the King Cobra are part of the natural balance of the ecosystem. One of the reasons why these snakes are found in communities is due to human encroachment into their natural habitat, where they usually reside. 📷Lennon Caspe via Superbalita Davao #AllYouNeedToKnow
