Description (in English): 

@bronxzooscobra is the Twitter account purportedly belonging to an Egyptian cobra from the Bronx Zoo.  In 2011, a cobra had escaped from the zoo, and this Twitter account emerged to document her adventures, capturing popular fascination and widespread notoriety. The cobra was subsequently caught and returned to captivity, but continues to tweet. 

Rob Wittig : "this project is, to me, the epitome of a single-voice netprov."
