'Mildly venomous' snake missing at Bronx Zoo
Published August 08, 2019
Officials at the Bronx Zoo Wednesday said that a “mildly venomous” snake escaped its cage Tuesday and is missing.
The three and a half-foot mangrove snake likely got out through a mesh covering in its habitat at JungleWorld, zoo officials said, WCBS reported.
Mangrove snakes are shy and timid, according to zookeepers, and are most likely to hide from people.
