Field Notes

Description:

The King !

The longest venomous snake in the world, the King Cobra are found in rainforests, tropical deciduous forests, tropical scrub forests and tropical grasslands of India, Southern China and South-east Asia. They can reach up to the length of 18 Feet and still be quite difficult to find in the wild. Got lucky with this one!

Habitat:

Rainforest and Evergreen forest of Agumbe. The forests of Agumbe is a part of the Western Ghats. The Western Ghats have an exceptionally high level of biological diversity including many endemic species. It is also recognized as one of the world’s eight hottest hotspots' of biological diversity, inscribed in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage sites list in July 2012

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
