Langkawi: I saw my first Cobra
Mark: 9 January 2010
Today I either saved a cat from a snake or a snake from the cat.
I don’t know which one. Here are some pics of the snake – it came just to the entrance of the house and if the door would have been open – it would probably have rendered us a visit.....
I have no clue about snakes – but this seems to be a Cobra. Hm.. didn’t know we have Cobras here, but it certainly looks like one (see the other pics).

The Langkawi Wildlife Park
Mark / Shirley, 15 July 2009
Get up-close with your feathered and furry friends !
Mark: Living in Langkawi for 7 years – I had not been there. It was known to me as “Bird Paradise” and as I am not specially drawn to see birds in small cages - I did not go there. What a mistake !:-))
The Bird Paradise changed it’s name in 2006 and became the Langkawi Wildlife Park.
