They are snakes cobra big and black if you want to find out cook 10 to 16 eggs and put the cooked eggs close to where the sound come from you will see the snake beacuse after swallowing the eggs since the eggs are cooked the eggs will not digest and you will kill the snake for meat

Lol this is just a superstitious belief. I've heard it too but it's not true.

If a snake could swallow animals and digest their bones what makes you think it can't digest a cooked egg?

Please guys I need a clarification on this, if someone can help identify the type of animal or the snake that makes a clucking sound at night especially in the midnight.

The sound seems very similar to a rooster or probably a clucking sound.

I heard this sound so much during my service year in ebonyi state precisely in afikpo North few years ago. I thought it was a rooster but they said it was a matured male snake or a cobra.

Few weeks ago, I went for a big project in a remote area, lo and behold in that area that same sound was so much and it looks like as if there was 3000 roosters clucking in the midnight.

Seriously I'm very worried if they are indeed snakes/cobra or maybe a wild roosters in a densed bush.

It is called crowing Crested snake

It's not a snake neither is it a rooster, is a meeting of the territorial principalities, that clucking sound is just to deceive you into thinking that it's coming from animals in the bush, but those of us blessed with the gift of foresight know that there's a serious meeting of the elders going on at that time of the night.

This I have seen.

I think they are Roosters...Throw stones next time in the direction the sounds are emulating from so you can see for yourself.
I'm thinking it's normally those Redish Brown coloured bush fowl.

It wouldn't move too far from where it ate it

It has always been used to kill snakes

But usually you can insert a blade or pins inside the cooked egg for better effect

Someone once told me they saw one in Nigeria, and I didn't believe them. They said they heard a strange noise and went to investigate, only to see a rattlesnake.

OP, if what you say is true, you may actually become famous if you can get just one specimen(alive or dead) of this creature.

Why? Because it's existence has been in doubt for many years. When I was small, stories of it were told by my grandmother during bedtimes. It has a distinctive cry of a cockerel, and it's said to love swallowing eggs. It's elusive, beautiful and very mudafuckin deadly. But since most humans who encounter it are dead as well as other animals, little documented evidence exists for museums or science to study.

Imagine what a live or dead specimen can bring you, not only in monetary terms but in terms of international exposure. That snake is a goldmine.

N.B: Where in Enugu are you? I'd like to very much make some enquiries myself.

The topography of the area is a major determinant in their population, before prey availability.

It can digest the egg but it would take time. Before it digests, the snake is unable to move. So people would have gone to where they snake is.

They're Toads and Frogs. Very common in swampy villages. The sounds are quite loud and You won't be able to tell the direction the sounds are coming from.

It’s a snake.
Find a way to kill them or throw fresh bitter cola cut into bits around the bush.
It won’t kill them but the smell makes them weak and uncomfortable. Snakes avoid such locations.

Snake.

It's a confirmed snake o.

Don't go near the location unprepared.

They make the sound to lure unsuspecting hens thinking it's a rooster that is calling them for free food, not knowing they're the intended food.

Where can one find them bro?

I need names of locations
