U.S.: Protip: Don’t hang out in the reptile house of the Bronx Zoo

  • Has anyone seen an Egyptian Cobra? The Bronx Zoo says that a poisonous Egyptian Cobra has disappeared from his cage, which (as you might guess) has some a little concerned. They don’t think he’s gone far, though. “Based on our knowledge of the natural history and behavior of snakes, we know they seek closed-in spaces and are not comfortable in open areas,” a statement from the zoo says. So, they’ve closed the Reptile House, assuming the snake’s in there. If they’re wrong? Well, then, that bites. (photo via edenpictures) source
