The Bronx Zoo’s missing cobra is back home after 7 adventurous days on the lam.
According to the spoof Twitter account @Bronxzooscobra, the highly poisonous cobra spent her last night of freedom sleeping in the lap of luxury at the New York Hilton’s Penthouse Ssssuite.
The NY Hilton posted the above pic after extending an invitation to the wary cobra to bed down for the night. The cobra graciously accepted, saying:
Thank you Hilton New York for the cushy & warm penthouse suite for the night! If I had a “lower back” that would benefit from this mattress I’d sleep on my ‘back’- but since I don’t…I think I’ll sleep on my tummy. G’night world!
But on a serious note, Bronx Zoo officials say the 3-month old, 3 ounce cobra was captured at 9 a.m. Thursday, using tongs and a tool that closely resembles a golf club.
The famous reptile is resting comfortably after feeding on a meal of baby mice. She will go on public display some time next week. There’s still no word on how the snake slithered out of its enclosure last Friday, but snakes are able to flatten their bodies and slip through the smallest opening.

Dear @CharlieSheen, know what’s better than tiger’s blood? Cobra venom. #winning #snakeonthetown Also I’m 20 inches long. Just sayin’.
Aw, glad they caught her w/o any injuries..
As witty as that snake is, I would have put a Goodyear tattoo on her neck if I would have seen her in the street!
that shyt was hilarious. good thing it didn’t wind up getting bashed to death on somebody’s porch like the one that got away in the ATL.
This must be some April Fools stuff. That cobra was reported dead yesterday. There’s an investigation and errr-thang.
