Narrow Escape From Fer-de-lance's Fangs
In the New York Zoological Park reptile house curator Ditmars faced two cobras that escaped their cage and blocked his retreat. Keeper Snyder calmly used a pole to push the snakes away as Ditmars retreated. The fer-de-lance, seven feet long from Martinique, bit at Snyder but missed, saving his arm as the door slammed shut. The snake did not get fed that night.
