The Bronx Zoo's venomous cobra was found on Thursday just about 200 feet from its cage to the relief of neighbors but the likely disappointment of those following lighthearted tweets from @BronxZoosCobra -- a Twitter feed created a few days after the snake's disappearance. Lured with wood shavings reeking of mice and rats, the cobra was trapped in a dark corner of the Reptile House, its home since it arrived at the zoo in February. It went missing last week, prompting the zoo to close its reptile enclosure. "We are delighted to report that the snake has been found alive and well," said Bronx Zoo Director Jim Breheny. While a relief to the zoo, the snake's capture may mean the end of the witty feed detailing the cobra's carousing around town. Posting in blasts from trendy sights and major tourist attractions, @BronxZoosCobra managed to squeeze in a few last sights before its capture was announced by the zoo. "If you see a bag of peanuts inexplicably moving along the ground at Yankee Stadium today. Just ignore it. It's probably nothing," reads the last tweet posted on Thursday afternoon, on opening day of baseball season.

If you eat something that is poisonous, like a toadstool, it will make you sick or perhaps kill you. If something is trying to eat you and injects a toxin into you, then it is venomous. A cobra is venomous. You can kill a cobra and eat the meat, just like a rattlesnake, and suffer no harm at all. Glad she is back home, safe and sound, and that no one got hurt.

I don’t know how many tweets it “sent,” but I wonder if it would be a good idea for somebody – maybe with the Zoo – to print them all out, along with some scientific information about this species, in a little booklet which could be sold there for fundraising. Apparently this cobra is a talented writer.
