Visakhapatnam: A 14-foot-long dead black cobra terrorised the residents of Mandasa in Srikakulam. People saw the black reptile coiled in a vegetable garden close to the Vasudeva temple. Later more people gathered and informed the teachers of the local government junior college.
A college zoology lecturer said it was a rare breed of cobra that grows to 20 feet having a life span of 20 years. A shy reptile, the black cobra lives on other small snakes.
