@@I_Stern from the video, it was a dangerous exibit snake that was loose in the zoo in Sweden that caused them to close it. I've not heard of exibit snakes getting loose in Australia, but I doubt they'd bother reporting it if they did, would be bad PR & there's going to be red belly black snakes living on the grounds in zoos close to cities, such as Taronga & brown snakes in the zoos further from city centres & a range of other snakes too, but those 2 are near guaranteed & they're rated second & 6th on the world's most venomous snake lists. Taronga actually has a "backyard buddies" section in the zoo, with great big blue tongue lizards & other reptiles, designed to teach little kids & their parents who didn't grow up in Australia, how to handle Aussie reptiles safely & most Aussie families tend to go to place like the reptile park in Sydney, or it's equivalents in other states, rather than tourist focused zoos anyway & at the reptile park & it's equivalent, there's Aussie animals loose all over & little cups of food sold for kids to feed them, so as to be able to get closer to them & interact with them in a really hands on way, with staff constantly wandering around monitoring, but doing so with large snakes & other reptiles drapped over their bodies, for kids to pat & interact with at will. First time I went there, I reported to the staff that some of the animals had escaped in the nocturnal house & were on the human side of the enclosure, running around on the ground! Staff response was "they'll go back into the enclosure if they want to get away from the humans" lol that was it! They didn't care in the slightest & assured me the double barrier in the exibit was purely to keep the humans out of the enclosure, but the animals were welcome to climb out & onto the human side if they wished to. The double doors on entry & exit, it seems weren't to adjust eyes to the night lighting, but rather to make it easier for humans to do the right thing & chase the animals back into the enclosure area if they decided to follow the humans out into the non-nocturnal part of the park - and they just expected the humans to do the right thing & not let/encourage the animals to escape it completely

I am swedish, and fact is that the news about the cobra has been talked about on the radio everyday since the news came out, its a big story here in Sweden. Also there are two factions of theories, one that say that the cobra can survive the cold cause it goes into hybernation and those who dont. I believe this story deserves a follow up. Most exciting news story in sweden for quite a while. We got nothing vetter to report bout. Over and out.

Every single intro to Meanwhile is a comedy legend.

Butter boards are a weird concept. Do people just invite friends over, pull a fresh batch of muffins out of the over and just sort of gorge themselves? Is that what people do now? Not gonna lie, sounds like a decent party. An escape king cobra sounds potentially risky, but also very messy. When startled, their first response isn't to try to murder you with venom. It's to poop explosively and slither away. Venom is expensive so they like to save it when they can.
