Poisonous Cobra STILL On The Loose At Bronx Zoo
Bronx Zoo staffers were waiting Sunday for an escaped poisonous Egyptian cobra to get hungry enough to come out of hiding.
Once it does, they will try to nab the wily reptile, the zoo’s director said.
The zoo’s Reptile House remained closed Sunday as staff searched for the 20-inch adolescent snake noticed missing Saturday.
“When the snake gets hungry or thirsty it will start to move around the building,” the zoo’s director, Jim Breheny, said in a statement. “Once that happens, it will be our best opportunity to recover it.”
Breheny said he is confident the highly venomous snake, native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, has not left the Reptile House, where it somehow slithered out of its enclosure in a secure, off-exhibit area.
The snake’s deadly bite can cause respiratory failure in humans if untreated.
