My own experience. Itobe is a village in Ajaokuta, close to the steel company in Kogi State. If you are coming from Abuja, there are two large tile factories on both sides of the expressway before getting to the Niger bridge. These two factories are located in a deep thick forest and managed with a heavy hand by the Indian and Chinese expatriates respectively...The labourers are largely Nigerians doing all the hard and daunting job for meagre pay. I was inside the one known as " West African ceramic company" It's midnight, I and my friend "Ugwuoba" were keeping Vigil as our 22 tyre Heavy duty truck was being loaded with Tiles. A consignment we would be conveying to onitsha, south east Nigeria in the morning. It was clocking towards 2:00am when a crowing noise penetrated the almost silent night, save only for the sounds of a manned forklift working tirelessly on our truck. The sound was more like a cocck calling on mother Hen to come have breakfast or possibly to mate. Either way, I concluded in my mind that it was a cock. And voiced out to my good friend ugwuoba who instantly laugh out loud, and told me that it wasn't a Cocck but rather a very big snake that has the shape of cocck, with the comb and all that. I believed him and immediately started to sweat visibly in the cold night... My friend sensing my current mood immediately commenced heavy igbo incantations. I rushed into the truck and emerged with a bottle of schnapps as we poured libations and called on the spirit of umuagbala, ogwugwu, idemili, and our ancestors to guide us through the night. If we had kola nuts, we would have broken them too for the gods to eat. We also called on the gods guiding River Niger to come too. I never saw the snake, but I felt its harrowing impact. 4 Likes 1 Share |

TRULY THOSE BIG COBRAS EXIST. AND THE SNAKE YOU ARE REFERRING TO AS RATTLESNAKES IS NOT CALLED RATTLESNAKE BUT PUFF ADDER, WHICH IS THE ONE IN AFRICA. THREE INSTANCES WHERE THE SNAKE THAT MAKES THE ROOSTER SOUND WAS KILLED THAT I PERSONALLY KNOW OF. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT IT IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND FEARFUL SNAKE EVEN WHEN IT'S DEAD IN A TRAP. AN IN-LAW OF OURS FROM MY MATERNAL SIDE WENT FOR NIGHT FISHING WHEN IT CAME AFTER HIM, HE WAS A CARPENTER, WHAT SAVED HIM WAS THAT HE NOTICED ITS PRESENCE IN TIME, BECAUSE ONCE YOU'RE CLOSE TO ITS ENVIRONMENT ESPECIALLY IN THE NIGHT, IT MUST COME AFTER YOU. SO HE CLIMBED A FALLEN TREE THAT PART WAS IN THE WATER, SO WHEN THE SNAKE CAME MOVING BESIDE AND RUBBING ITSELF AGAINST THE TREE TO GET ITS PREY, MY IN-LAW, HE STRUCK WITH HIS WELL SHAPEN CUTLASS AND SUCCEEDED IN KILLING IT. SECONDLY, ONE OF OUR FAMILY FRIENDS TRAP CAUGHT ONE, HE HAD TO RUN AWAY IMMEDIATELY, CALLED A SET OF GUYS BACK TO THE FOREST WHERE IT WAS KILLED. THE THIRD ONE, MEN, I SAW WHERE IT WAS CAUGHT IN A TRAP, DEAD BUT FEARFUL, BIG LIKE A 4 INCHES PIPE. PLEASE WHEREVER YOU HEAR THAT ROOSTER SOUND, KEEP OFF. FINALLY, THE PUFF ADDER, ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SNAKE IN AFRICA. IT DOESN'T HUNT LIKE COBRA OR PYTHON BUT IT'S FOOD WALKS DIRECTLY INTO IT.THIS IS ACHIEVED MY THE MIMICRY SOUND OF CHARACTERISTICALLY CLUCKING. BY DOING THIS IT'S PREY WALKS DIRECTLY INTO IT, WHERE IT IS ALWAYS TOO LATE FOR IT TO ESCAPE. IT HAS A PIN ON ITS HEAD THAT IS VERY POISONOUS, STEPPING ON IT BY HUMAN OR ANIMAL IS DEATH. WHILE IT SLEEPS, IT COILS ROUND AND PLACES ITS HEAD ON TOP. DON'T DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF THE ROOSTER HEAD COBRA. 6 Likes |

All of this would be crazy enough, but the Crowing crested cobra is supposedly in possession of a number of additional remarkable traits. It's apparently very large – something like six metres long – and males supposedly make a loud crowing noise, like a rooster, while females make a chicken-like clucking. |
