The Philippine cobra is a stocky, highly venomous snake that lives in the northern parts of the Philippines. It is a type of spitting cobra, and its bite can cause serious breathing problems very quickly. It is important to know it because it lives close to people, in farms, villages and near water.1

It lives in low-lying plains, forests, open fields, grasslands, farmland and human settlements. It is especially fond of water, so it is often found close to ponds, rivers and large puddles.1

It eats mostly small rodents such as mice and small rats, along with frogs. It will also eat other snakes, small lizards, eggs and, when it gets the chance, small birds.1

Its venom is a potent neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves and stops nerve signals from reaching the muscles. This can cause respiratory paralysis, meaning the victim can no longer breathe properly. Symptoms can include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dizziness and difficulty breathing. In some cases, breathing stopped within 30 minutes of the bite.1

Bites cause severe neurotoxicity that comes on quickly, with little or no swelling at the bite site. In a study of 39 patients bitten by this snake in 1988, 19 developed complete respiratory failure and there were two deaths. Both people who died were already in a critical state when they reached hospital.1

When threatened, it forms a hood, and females can spit venom at a target up to 3 metres away.1

Xibaar

1

Only female Philippine cobras have been reported to spit their venom, and they can hit a target up to 3 metres away.1

2

Its venom is considered one of the most toxic among cobra species, although toxicity can vary between individual snakes.1

3

Research has found that its venom is purely a neurotoxin, with no cardiotoxins and no obvious tissue-destroying components.1

4

Large rats sometimes fight back after being bitten. They can injure the snake's eyes, and this can leave it blind.1
