"The 20-inch Egyptian cobra hasn’t been seen since Friday afternoon, and is believed to be hiding somewhere in her zoo enclosure. However instead of searching crevices of the Reptile House for the pencil-thin snake, zoo workers might have better luck looking online."

That's fucking hilarious, much more inspired than that other shitty twitter account that got turned into a show with Capt. Kirk. They should make THIS a TV show.

All is well again, Cobra has been found. :lmao


NEW YORK -- The missing Bronx Zoo cobra has been found.

Zoo officials say the snake was found Thursday morning in the zoo's Reptile House, nearly a week after it went missing. The Egyptian cobra was found coiled in a dark corner of the reptile house and zoo director Jim Breheny says she is in good health.

Got a bagel at H & H Bagels on upper west side. When I ordered I said, "I'll have the snakes on a PLAIN." He did not laugh. Tough crowd.

Hopefully the snake can host SNL, there's a facebook group set up for it like they did with Betty White.

I don't think figuring out the place was the issue.

"Which one of you minimum-wage guys wants to go look for the missing cobra?"

Yeah, I'm sure, for liability issues, there was caution in apprehending this loose reptile.

They closed the reptile house. If it got out of there, it was going to die of exposure anyway.
