WILDLIFE WATCH | A Philippine Pit Viper was seen at the trail of Tomari Falls last week. This photo was shared by one of our guides Yan Hibalay.

Being a highly venomous snake, it is important to just stay away from their accurate striking distance whenever you see them in the outdoors. Do not touch or free handle pit vipers with bare hands, and more importantly, do not kill them.
