Anti-venom was flown to Baltimore from Philadelphia after a woman was bitten by a venomous monacle cobra in a parking lot. The woman walked into a walk-in clinic Sunday with the animal that bit her stuffed into a bag. The woman was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital while the Baltimore County Fire Department and Falls Road Animal Hospital tried to find the correct anti-venom. The snake was identified as a monacle cobra, a species native to Asia. The snake was turned over to Catoctin Zoo, where officials said it behaves like it is accustomed to captivity. The exact origins of the snake have not been determined.
