NEW YORK: An Egyptian cobra that became a star on Twitter after escaping from the Reptile House at the Bronx Zoo last week has been found after a six-day search, zoo officials said Thursday. “FOUND! Bronx Zoo cobra found alive & well in Reptile House in non-public area. The key was patience,” a Twitter message from the zoo said. Officials made the announcement at a news conference, where they showed a photograph of the adolescent snake resting comfortably in a secure enclosure. The reptile section of the zoo was shut down after the cobra, which is an adolescent female around 20 inches (50 centimeters) long, escaped from its enclosure, Friday. __
