Death I saw this deadly snake in Philadelphia zoo. Its an Indian python. The snake was attracted to my camera and came quite close, that is how I got this beautiful picture. I wish I could capture it when its tongue was out, maybe next time.  Geotagged,King cobra,Ophiophagus hannah,United States,Winter,zoo Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
