This deadly king cobra is about 2.4 meters long and has only been in the Skansen Zoo Aquarium reptile hall for a few days, but the glass box that has been housed has been kept for 15 years, and there is no problem.
Just last Saturday, an accident happened
At that time, there were still many tourists in the museum visiting
. This king cobra actually drilled out of the lamp hole on the top of the glass box
. This scene was also taken by tourists. There was also a video on the Internet that showed
. A tourist asked in horror:
"Is this safe here?"
" is not safe, but we are working hard."
A staff member calmly answered
in the video. The 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. This is 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.

King Cobra can grow to 5.5 meters long
is the deadliest Venus one of the deadliest
The venom it bites and releases
is enough to kill 20 people
According to the Swedish media "Afterton", the park ordered a special camera for this, which is 50 meters long and can help snake hunters search for King Cobra in smaller corners and gaps and walls of the room.
Bosse Jonsson, a professional who is responsible for catching King Cobra, said that although this 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, they would not wear safety suits and planned to grab the king cobra with pliers when they found 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.
