A netizen shared a video of a black spitting cobra at Choa Chu Kang cemetery and are warning others to be careful when going to places with tall grass.
Here is what the netizen said:
Sorry for the shaky video. This was shared by another gravebuilder over at the Muslim cemetery.
Location: Blk 24
They’re everywhere there, actually, so to those who frequent the cemeteries there, especially the older blocks with tall grass, please do be very careful, and make noise not to shoo them off, but to let them be aware of your presence.
EDIT: Black spitting cobra with hood flared at 1-minute mark onwards.
Barely visible through the grass before that.
