Top 10 Cobra Tweets
Tales of the missing Egyptian cobra’s tour of the Big Apple
According to her account on Twitter, it seems the Egyptian cobra who did a Houdini on the Bronx Zoo’s Reptile House had a grand time touring New York City before finding herself safely — at least for the general public — back in her regular habitat.
When we last checked, she’d gathered a following of 236,000 as she tweeted her way around the city. Some of our favorite entries:

Anyone else got a case of the Mondays? I do. It’s a plexi-glass case enclosure in the Reptile House.
What do you say? If you were the cobra, where would you have gone in New York? What would you have tweeted? And why didn’t anyone give her directions to Trump Tower? Comment below or go to our Facebook page and let us know your thoughts.
What can you do? The Bronx Zoo invited people to give the cobra a name. Check out their site for the winning entry.
