 See Canada's Largest Venomous Snake
On December 15th, Reptilia's new king
cobra went on display for the public. He was
officially measured at an event for our Annual
Members on December 14th and documented in the
National Post at 13 feet 1 inch in length.
Reptilia now has the largest crocodile in Canada and
the largest venomous snake.

Induna and Nandi are fed every two
weeks. Although he weighs over 1,000 lbs,
Induna eats as much in a year as an average adult
male does in two months. Join us on Sunday and
see if he has the same table manners, or lack there
of, as a the average adult male!

A Meal Fit for a King
King cobras are
snake eaters. Finding a specimen that feeds on
anything other than snakes is a difficult task;
however, we managed to find just such an animal.
His exhibit has been open to the public since
December 15th and he's adjusted well. Our
primary concern was with stress levels associated
with being on display. Now that we have fed
him a few times late in the evening when the zoo is
quiet, we are ready to add our king cobra to the
regular feeding rotation. He is fed Saturdays
at 11:45 PM. Watch this week's video and get an idea of what to
expect.
