In the provinces of Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, it is believed that under the thick cover of forested land lives significant number of king cobras locally known as “banakon”. There are many reports of snake bites in the sorrounding area where victims range from a small child to an elderly farmer. Eyewitnesses reported that the snake could reach the length of 18 to 20 feet long and is highly venomous (same with the king cobras abundantly found in India). People thought about the snakes as the guardian of the forest and whenever someone enters their turf they will become aggresive and will surely happy to chase and inject those death syrup in someone’s body to die.Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental is a 2 to3 hour drive east from Davao City. Today, still there is no documented sightings of that feared snake not even a captured one for us to see. Biologist where presently exploring the forest hoping to find one so that they can find a way to protect the animal from extinction and for the people to not get in the snakes path.

This video shows a giant king cobra in India being the center of discussion by some brave, intelligent but crazy guy who’s doing a documentary. This is kinda intense video you better watch closely to that big 18 ft. snake I’d been cringing watching this clip. Have fun!

    hello sir!
    alam mo sir, ang cobra ay pinakamakamandag na ahas sa lahat at walang sino mang makakalapit na tao pero yong isang reporter ay nakaya nyang lapitan ang ahas na iyon.Sa pag kakaalam ko sir dito sa ating bansa maraming nakatirang ahas at marami ring napapabalita na may kinagat ng ahas may ibat-ibang klase ng ahas pero itong cobra ang mas makamandag sa lahat.

  10. 10 ludilyn ylaya

    hi sir..
    nice and fair ako feling magwatch sa video,it my firstime na makita ang ganun kalaki na cobra..kung titingnan mo lng ang lagi at maliksi ang galaw ay npaka dli kado tlaga,,pero ang tao na nsa video ay mabilis dn kumilos.sa india ang mga tao don ay ginagawa din nlang laroan ang cobra,kahit matanda at bata.ginagawa nlang pacontest kung paano pag amo ng cobra.

  24. 25 jestony mark aprong iv-rizal

    Elo sir…… wow nasurprise po talaga ako sa picture na nakita ko ngayon maganda po yung pagkakashow kung papaano nila pinag-aaralan ang King Cobra doon sa may India.

    Sa unang pagkakataon ay talaga nga namang naghirap ang siyentipiko na maghanap ng ahas na pag-aaralan, ang king cobra. Sa pagkakataon na nakatagpo na sya ng Cobra ay kaagad na niya itong sinunggaban sa maingat na pamamaraan. Napakadilikado ng pong talagang i-handle ang uring ahas na iyon dahil ito ay sadyang matalino gaya ng aking inaakala. Malaki masyado ang ahas na iyon mga 14ft. more ang taas namaari kang patayin kung basta-basta kanalang sa paghuli nito.Ngunit matapos ang lahat ay naging maagumpay rin ang kanyang balak ng walang disgrasya na nangyari.THAT’S ALL SIR BYE…….

  25. 26 RACHEL ANUENGO

    GOOD EVENING sir!!!!!!!
    Your work sir is very interesting because it is all about the one of the wildest animal on earth…,the king cobra or we fundly call it in visayan “BANAKON’.

  35. Wow the video is so great because the king cobra or the banakon is one of the most biggest snake. I think the King Cobra is not the most biggest snake at all. The scientist is amazing because he tame the snake, the king cobra is not easy to tame because that is so dangerous. Wow it said that the King Cobra is intellegent it’s so amazing snake.

  36. 37 Alverne Limgas

    Wow its so amazing the scientist trying to tame the snake and capture. The scientist is so brave and strong because of what he did to the snake. If i where there i will be killed and eated my whole body you know because i am small but terrible but still i will not let the cobra kill me. The Banakon is intellegent wow that was amazing.

  37. 38 Richard Llanes

    Its so dangerous to catch some snake especially the king cobra because that is so intellegent snake among sa other snake. The man was so very impressing he bravely and strongly without fear to tame and catch the one of the very dangerous snake of the world. many banakons are there in the Philippines and we in danger if they will multiply more and more. So let us keep away from them and not also from this snake but also in the dangerous species living in the earth.

    Sir!!!!! I was really surprised of your terrifying article.
    Sir!the king cobra is very nakakatakot it is because the snake is really “you know sir gaya mo matalino at maganda”
    And the scientist is very truly crazy but he has the reason why he did it and the scientist doesn’t fell any feelings of “afraid”he is a brave person.
    And also sir I want to be like him”A BRAVE PERSON”
    Sir!!!!!before I forget to tell the continuation about your article
    hindi ko na patatagalin pa it really makes me impress or caught my attention and also sir yung mga tao na andito sa internet cafe lalong lalo na yung may-ari nito.Ang ganda talaga sir wala akong masabi sayo ang galing mo sa English at iba pa.Ito lang muna sir kung may maidaragdag pa ako sir don’t worry I will wrote it again.

    gud eve sir!!!!!!!!!!!!when i saw the video im scared and concerned about the scientist because i thought mamatuklaw siya ng cobra.but he so brave.i idolize him.about your article sir your right that snakes especially the cobras are very dangerous to us.but they are also helpful by guarding the forest from the trespassers.i agree to you sir that they will succeed in protecting them from extinction.and thats all……nytie sir!!!!!!!!!!!!

  52. 53 Jhean Dela Peña

    Hey sir gud eve… Your really right sir that snakes like “banakon” are very dangerous,..so we,, people should take care when you encounter a snake because it can harm us and it may lead us to death….
    By the way sir,, that video was a breathtaking and totally scary.. And that guy was very brave and I salute him for that.. Come to think of it,..he don”t hesitate to risk his life for that snake and he definitely know that it can kill him…dibah?? maybe your right sir that his crazy…
    But seriously I adore him for that because its not easy to catch a very dangerous snake like “banakon”…

  53. 54 Myrrh ZyriNe IV Rizal

    gud eve sir!!!!
    sir the video is so scary!!!!! but the guy is so amazing,imagine he can carry to caught a “BANAKON” as big as what i have seen in the video…. MY GOD!!!
    i cant imagine how scary is that sir!!!!
    If i were the guy in the video i think im automatically died in that situation…my god its so scary as in promiz!!!
    i cant believe that theres a banakon here in our place because as far as i know it can only be found somewhere in the world but not in this place!!!!
    So,we people must be watchful to our step and be careful always where ever we go..because snake is so dangerous and it may lead us to death…
    nice job sir!!!!take care always!!!

    I saw the report of I witness on the television, they reported about the “BANACON” at the province of compostela valley, Davao Oriental. their report is so very wonderful!!!
    I saw also the video of banacon, the banacon is so very big, and the guy on is trying to catch the snake, I think the guy on the video is a scientist, because he is trying to catch the snake for his experiment.

    As far as i know the king cobra or(banakon) is one of the most dangerous snake in the world and i think if you touch that “errrty” snake it will really bite you because snake has an instinct that is so very sensitive and there are times that they really attack . But when i saw the video i’m so very amaze b’coz the snake did’nt attack the man .Maybe that man is espicialized in catching or experimenting snakes. “SIR WääY GID K☺Y MäHäMBäL” sir kung san ka magaling hahangaan ka namin. ahoo !ahoo ! ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪

    talagang napakalaki ng banacon sir, at nakakatakot. at nung nakita ko ang video, nakita ko ang isang lalaki na nagtatangka na huliin ang ahas, at sapalagay ko hindi siya natatakot, at nakunan pa niya ng picture ito.

    may ibat-ibang uri ng “BANAKON” at ang iba nito ay nanganganib na sigugo ay mas makakabuti kung makakapagpatayo tayo ng orginasasyon laban sa mga umaabuso sa mga ito o sa mga “BANAKON”

  82. 83 arnold candrejo

    hello!!!!!
    graveh! its unbelievable video….wow!!!its time for you to visit in davao city to watz king cobra alias BANAKON!!!!! see you there………!

  83. i’m lowel..
    in almost 3years of seeking an information about the crypted snake or BANAKON.
    i finally found proved that the Banakon is found only here in the phillippines & a very very in dangered species.

    The Bnakon is the largest venomous snake i’ve ever saw in my entire life.
    i wrote this thread just wanting some people to help me find this snake and
    set a sanctuary place for them to live together because this snake is unique only in the phillippines.
    people here are having extreme fear of this snake & enjoy killing of it because this is more dangerous than King cobra,vipers & a black mamba.

    The Banakon snake is a territorial snake. When there place is entered it will not stop chasing you & give a strike just enough to kill a man in a second.
    This snake is unbelievable & just turn to a myth because this snake is amazingly intelligent. Some victims or an eye witnesses as many as 20% of people live in our villages here in mindanao said that almost all victims are experienced hearing rouster crows after thier encounter. the snake mimic’s a crows of a rouster. but even we try to consider that an encountering of Banakon & hearing a crowing snake is unbelievable because we almost all know that the snake only detects a vibration in soroundings & it does’nt have an ears to hear the rousters crows to mimic it. Peoples that encounters a crowing snake or BANAKON are very strong enough to stand thier beliefs that they surely hear the crows of a banakon.
    Some Banakon experts here said that if thev addults banakon saw the killing of one of its kind. it will take them into a grudge enough the BANAKON to follow in the mans house & kill the man to avenge thier killed kind or a family member..(unbelievable story)

    We see also that this serpent is having a two leg w/ complete 3 joints near the waist area.

    The image of this snake.
    imagine “black mamba” this snake is closely compare to a black mamba.
    its body is wieght like a king cobra but a quiet thin.
    black mamba has a diamon head, BANAKON too but BANAKON has his horns like on its diamon head. black mamba is always black w/ white color in his ventral or abdomenal line view.
    BANAKON is having thier color sometimes black or even having thier white silvery gray entire the body..black mamba is a 10-15 ft. long & the BANAKON is 15-20 ft. or even longger.
    the colored black BANAKON is always having his two little leg near the tail. but thye other one white BANAKON we saw somestimes & sometimes not having a two leg. i can’t notice w/c of this two is male or female of this white Banakon or black.
    black mamba rise his head on 2-3feet. & BANAKON also has extreme strength to rise his head by 5 feet or even higher. he has an extreme speed that enough to chase people & strike it evn if they are in a running situation. it has plenty of venum to kill a human being in only a 40 seconds to only one minute i don’t even hear the victims that where ever survive for a long after they got bitten…
    TO see is to believe but i saw 1 of it & chase me twice so i believed! outside country believe that this is just a romours & judges us that filipino is undereducated & supersticious believers. TRUST me if you don’t mind & i’m about taking pictures of it & for your info. we have some preserved of BANAKONS body somewhere in municipals & conventions here in mindanao.
    i loved this snake very. so help me save it. my nmber 09292513696

  84. contact me in my number to ask for my info about this snake..and to prove to you all that king cobra ang banakon were prety having diffirences i traveled enough places and get some story about..take note lahat ng mga lugar na pnuntahan ko para kumaha ng impomasyon tungkol dito..magkatugma lahat ung discription nila sa ahas nato…makapal ang scales(check!)18-20feet or even larger(check!)chasing people(check!)rising his head 5-6feet!(check!)wala maxadong hood gaya ng king cobra..color brown to black sometimes silvery white(check!)having a little leg near the tail(check!) a very weird creature! believe us where from davao del sur! and etc..hanggang d2 nalang

  85. i have snakes in my pet house..i got bitten on normal cobra twice..di nyo pa pala nkita ang video na yan madalas yan sa animal planet chanel

  86. hello lowel

    thnx for the info….. it would be nice if you could provide me with your photos of davao’s banakon. it would be appreciated a lot….

  87. 88 joeshot

    hello to everyone!!! sa tingin ko po, may konting misunderstading d2 about king as banakon… kasi actually if you try to look at the characteristic of a king cobra ibang iba lng talaga sa characteristic ng isang banakon… and to tell honestly ang banakon is actually a black mamba… just try to look at the face of a black mamba and banakon… kasi i for myself is an eyewitness of the face of a banakon here in davao particularly in the northern part… and na observe ko lng po na ang banakon at king cobra ay magkaibang ahas ang instead ung banakon really looks like the most feared black mamba… this is for info lng po thnx…

  88. BANAKON BA TALAGA YON

  89. I’ve been doing volunteer work here in Com Val province for 3 months now. A kid died few weeks ago because of the claimed “banakon”’s bite. I’m a nurse at the local hospital here and witnesses claimed that this snake had 2 feet like that of a chicken’s? i tried searching on google, and the descriptions seem to match the samoan’s “crowing snake”, not the king cobra. anyways, i havent really seen one but a lot of natives here can attest that weird snake does exist.

    satingin ko hindi na king cobra ang banakon, kasi nakakita na ako sa Barangay Mayo Mati Davao oriental, kaya lang patay na.. ang kulay nya parang bangus ang haba naman nya mga na sa 6′5, at ang hugis ng ulo diamond.. ang layo lang sa king cobra, maliit pa nga daw un eh.. kung gusto nyo magawan ng documentary contact nyo ako… 09282193855….

  91. Buang Buang man diay siguro nang taohana.. mapaakan lage na tingala lage dili na muhilak.. tagbaw jud na ug singget sa iya mama.. MAMA!!!! MAMA!!!!

  92. by the way, dito sa DAVAo tlaga yan nagSimula yang banakon na yan… !* feet din ang nahuli dito sa CALINAN last year, diamond shape ang head din kulay bangus na isda talaga…. tumayo pa na parang tao, nakakatakot lalo na pagLumaki ang liig na parang READY TO STRIKE.. nyahahaha.. ang laki talaga!!!!!

  93. 94 george

    I have heard that word Banakon before,but I think it was just a myth…is it kinda’ snake or what? ano yun? oh my..tell that to the marines!!!hahahaha well, I guess it’s cobra snake and should I suggest to all kababayans not to engage in such creating a word that is so much of a freak name to call the thing? eww! banakon? gosh! please..it’s a snake obviously and you just don’t know it in the real sense!
    IT IS SIMPLY A COBRA!!!!!!!!!! Please don’t invent words that will make the people get ignorant. okay?

  94. 95 arki

    para sa aking opinyon..

    ang banakon ay hindi isang king cobra…

    dahil wala itong hood na ginagamit ng mga king cobra para lumaki slang tingnan…

    at ang mga banakon ay kulay itim..

    at ang mga banakon ay nasa pamilya ng vipers…

    ung lang po ang aking masasabi..

    ka pangit nnyo hadlok pa mo….

    iba ung cobra sa king cobra… at ung banakun na cnasabi sa palagay ko un ang king cobra.. kac kaya xa cnasabi na king cobra kc mas malala pa xa sa cobra na cnasabi.. kaya xa tinawag na king cobra… and kagaya ng ordinaryong cobra ung banakun ay tumitindig din…un lang po ang masasabi ko…

  97. 98 don pansag

    iba man yong nakita ko na banakon.at iba din yung king cobra
