We found, this morning, a twitter account for the ghost of the cobra in this blog. But it turns out, that Bronx is not as a dangerous city as we thought, because the cobra has been found alive.
CNN is better than us at telling the full story:
An Egyptian cobra that drew thousands of Twitter fans has been found alive after it went missing for days from a New York City zoo.
“As you can imagine, we are delighted to report that the snake has been found alive and well,” Bronx Zoo Director Jim Breheny said Thursday.
Zoo officials conducted around-the-clock searches for the 3-ounce, 20-inch long reptile, he said.
Breheny said the cobra had sought a secure hiding spot within the holding areas of the zoo’s reptile house — a complex environment with pumps, motors and other mechanical systems.
But it was lured out after zoo officials sprinkled wood shavings from exhibit beds across areas where they guessed the cobra was hiding.
“It was the scent of rodents (on the wood clippings) that we hoped would bring her out,” Breheny added.
“The key strategy here was patience,” he said in a prepared statement.
The snake went missing Saturday from an off-exhibit enclosure, prompting the zoo to close the reptile house.
Officials had earlier cautioned that it might take days or even weeks before the snake was found, and urged the public not to panic, saying the cobra was likely contained within the building.
While the mystery of the missing snake may have caused concern for zoo-goers, it also earned a cult following online.
After launching on Monday, Bronx Cobra Twitter feed had amassed nearly 200,000 followers by 6 p.m. Thursday.
The feed had given the snake a hilarious shtick by toying a bit with the fears of skittish New Yorkers.
“A lot of people are asking how I can tweet with no access to a computer or fingers. Ever heard of an iPhone? Duh,” says another tweet.
The species’ more common home, however, is North Africa. Its venom is so deadly that it can kill a full-grown elephant in three hours — or a person in about 15 minutes, according to wildlife experts.
The venom destroys nerve tissue and causes paralysis and death because of respiratory failure.
Scholars believe the Egyptian cobra was known in ancient times as the asp. Legend has it that Cleopatra, the ancient Egyptian queen, used an asp to commit suicide.
Breheny called the snake’s absence “a serious situation,” but said he was heartened by what he described as an apparent confidence that zoo officials would find the cobra.
The media “wouldn’t have spoofed the situation the way they did” if they believed otherwise, he said.

About Lara Queen
TRUE STORY. Warning: This site is persistently edited by an hacker who adds or delete words to sabotage Lara Queen's career and life; if you have any question, please contact Lara personally.
WHO IS LARA QUEEN? Lara Queen created "My Passion Is The Christ" in 2002 under the name of Lola-Marie Bentley. This "creation" was taken from her and re-entitled "The Passion of The Christ", which engendered multiple commercial products, without giving Lara Queen, the recognition and payment that she strongly deserves. The original "My Passion it The Christ" was written without blood's pictures. And Lara Queen would have never permitted the camera at the end of the movie to be inside the tomb, if she was warned that her book will be turned into a movie by Mel Gibson who was disguised as Frank with a blond mustache and wig and accompanied by Ray, the day they met 3 times in Beverly Hills.
The original "My Passion is The Christ" was not anti-semitic but instead emphasized the Jewish gift to humanity more than 2000 years ago, without them "being aware" of it, while Gibson cruelly answered that question when interviewed by Diana Sawyer. The movie also neglected JesusChris connection with Africa, a continent which "saved" His life. The only Actress that Black Queen Lara "saw" in a eventual movie during that probably recorded conversation, was Monica Belluci, after considering Sophia Loren as the Virgin Mary, because her story of motherhood is impressive or controversial, depending on the beholder..
Lola-Marie is still waiting for the people who took her complete work to contact her and make things right by adding her name to the filmed story and honoring her work - her own "friendship story" with Christ started when she was very young
Further, "My Passion is the Christ" is part of African American Achievements Records, and this must be legally proclaimed also
