3600. *****Singapore Wildlife Stories. A black cobra was seen in Yio Chu Kang Crescent secondary forest on 28 May 2021. Video


 Video footage shown to me by the migrant worker who was kind enough to warn me to be careful.

"Sir, sir," the Indian migrant worker came out from his lorry at Yio Chu Kang Crescent, approached me. "You have to be careful. There are black cobra in the forest you are taking photos,"

He showed me his phone video as evidence. 

Over 100 visits to this place and I had not encountered one. I did see on two occasions, a slim glossy black snake the size of a skipping rope slithering away into the forest when I walked past. I did get some photos. Will need to take them out. Two kind souls warned me from across the storm water canal when they saw me inside this strip of grass besides the forest. Really concerned.
