Summary:
A 10-foot-long king cobra escaped from the property of a man who owns 28 snakes. His home is less than a mile from a junior high and high school. King cobras can reach lengths of 18 feet and are considered among the most venomous snakes on the planet. The snakes are aggressive when cornered. The snake was recaptured after game wardens searched the area for several hours.
