Officials and fire crews in western Germany were combing every vent and corridor of an apartment block on Thursday in search of a deadly cobra that's on the loose.
Officials and fire crews in the city of Herne, in western Germany, were combing every vent and corridor of an apartment block on Thursday in search of a deadly cobra.
The roughly 4.6-foot long cobra escaped from one of the residents' apartments as early as Sunday, having been spotted in a hallway. Four buildings within the block, connected by a cellar, were evacuated with its more than 30 residents being forced to stay with family, friends and at a city shelter. Snakeskin found in the cellar of the building earlier in the week wasn't enough evidence to ensure the reptile was still in the building, the city's council head Johannes Chudziak said.
A special unit of the local fire department and snake experts have been employed to conduct the search. A special double-sided sticky tape was laid out in areas of the building in attempt to trap the venomous reptile. There are also considerations to seal the building with foil and then release a biological gas that would kill the reptile.
