King Cobra and I

[Smynx]

I caught Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom on Animal Planet this weekend. The episode was "King Cobra and I." It was an awesome show with lots of good information. Not cheesy or overly-produced, either, like some of those shows can be - just good, interesting, straightforward information.

Here's the description:

American herpetologist Romulus Whittaker launches a personal quest to protect the largest venomous snake known to man: the King cobra.

The show starts with Whittaker rescuing a king cobra. He takes it to his reserve, probes it (finds it is female), removes retained eyecaps, breeds her to a male on the reserve, and then watches the babies hatch. Amazing!!! Did you know baby king cobras right out of the egg can spread their hoods and carry enough venom to potentially kill a man?

Don't miss this show if you can help it. It airs again on Saturday and Sunday.

I agree, it was a very good show. Couldn't believe he was free-handling the babies straight out of the eggs though. Especially when I seen the one flare out his hood!!

I thought I would bump this back up, since I was looking for it myself (remembered it was supposed to re-air this weekend and needed details)
