This deadly king cobra is about 2.4 meters long and has only been in the Skansen Zoo Aquarium Reclining Hall for a few days. However, the King Cobra, which has been in the glass box for 15 years, has no problems.
was unexpectedly happening last Saturday. At that time, there were still many tourists in the museum visiting. The king cobra actually drilled out through the lamp hole on the top of the glass box, and this scene was also photographed by tourists.
There is also a video online showing a tourist asking in horror: "Is this safe?" "It's not safe, but we are working hard." A staff member replied calmly in the video.
report also said that the king cobra was named Sir Gas at first, but after it escaped from prison, it was officially renamed Houdini by the zoo, the name of a magician who became famous for being able to escape from various shackles and containers.
According to the latest announcement from the official website of Skansen Zoo, three snake experts quickly arrived at the scene after the incident, but the snake has not been captured yet, and the park is still trying to search for the snake.
Aquarium Reptile Hall has been closed, but other venues are still open normally. Because snake experts at the Aquarium Reptile Gallery believe that the snake is still in the building where the Aquarium Reptile Gallery is located because it is impossible for it to climb out of the building.
Assuming it crawls out, it can't survive in the cold climate. The cold will cause it to penetrate the soil, and the low temperature will cause it to fall asleep until it freezes to death. Therefore, the zoo assessment said that there is no safety risk for employees and tourists entering and leaving the zoo.

It is said that King Cobra can grow up to 5.5 meters long and is one of the deadliest venom . It releases venom in one bite to kill 20 people.
According to the Swedish media "Afterton", the park ordered a special camera for this purpose. The camera is 50 meters long and can help snake hunters search for king cobras in smaller corners and gaps and walls of the room.
Bosse Jonsson, a professional who is responsible for catching King Cobra, said that although is a very dangerous venomous snake, it is not very aggressive. Snake catchers do not stick their heads into small corners or gaps, but use special cameras to ensure personnel safety.
During the capture process, they will not wear safety suits and plan to grab the king cobra with pliers when they find it. At present, they can analyze the approximate area of the snake, but they cannot determine the specific location.
The "jailbreak" of the King Cobra is the second major incident that has occurred in the aquarium reptile since 2019. At that time, a 79-year-old man was bitten by a crocodile in the venue and had to amputate his limbs.
