As If Those Reptile Exhibits Could Get Any Freakier . . .

The only thing worse than a poisonous cobra escaping from its exhibit at the zoo is knowing it is still on the loose:

Bronx Zoo staffers were waiting Sunday for an escaped poisonous Egyptian cobra to get hungry enough to come out of hiding.

Once it does, they will try to nab the wily reptile, the zoo’s director said.

The zoo’s Reptile House remained closed Sunday as staff searched for the 20-inch adolescent snake noticed missing Saturday.
