A new larger Cobra that could kill 15 people is good news to Kenyans. And they wonder why they are a third world country. Now I know why they run so fast.
A new species of giant spitting cobra is exciting and reinforces the obvious -- that there have to be many other unreported species but hundreds are being lost as their habitats disappear under the continued mismanagement of our planet," said the group's chairman, Kenyan environmentalist Richard Leakey.
Ashe, now deceased, was the first to catch a larger-than-normal spitting cobra in the 1960s and suggest it belonged to a different species.
Bio-Ken director Royjan Taylor said the recognition of the new species was an opportunity to raise awareness about snake conservation as well as find remedies for the powerful bite.
"Naja Ashei is responsible for a very serious snake bite," he told Reuters by telephone from the farm. "People don't care about saving snakes. They talk of saving dolphins or cats, but never snakes!"
Freaking Idiot. I welcome global warming if it will kill all snakes.

Yeah, funny how that worked out for him. Champion of snakes gets killed by one.
Steve Erwin would have gotten crap if a Croc would have eaten him. Since a sting ray got him, it was a tragedy. If it was a Croc, the media would have said he was aking for it.
