Salt Lake City, UT – August 2, 2024

In an unexpected twist to the already extraordinary saga of the king cobras that escaped from a semi truck accident near Casper, Wyoming, recent reports indicate that a number of the snakes have migrated across state lines into Utah.

Following the accident on Interstate 25, wildlife experts and authorities successfully recaptured the majority of the escaped king cobras. However, it appears that several snakes managed to elude capture and have traveled hundreds of miles to Utah. The migration of these venomous reptiles has raised new concerns for both wildlife officials and the public.

Reports of sightings began emerging over the past 24 hours, with several encounters occurring in rural areas of northeastern Utah. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has been actively involved in tracking and managing the situation. Authorities believe that the snakes may have traveled along waterways and through dense vegetation, which facilitated their movement over long distances.

Dr. Emily Carter, who leads the research team involved in the original shipment, has been working closely with Utah officials. “We were concerned that some cobras might have found their way into other areas, given their ability to cover significant ground when displaced,” Carter said. “Our main focus now is to assist in their safe recovery and ensure that no additional risks are posed to the public.”

Utah wildlife experts are utilizing drones, thermal imaging, and specialized snake-catching teams to locate the cobras. They are also collaborating with local communities to raise awareness and ensure that any sightings are promptly reported.

“We are taking every precaution to address this issue swiftly and efficiently,” said David Miller, a spokesperson for the DWR. “Our goal is to capture these snakes without causing unnecessary disruption or posing further risk.”

In addition to the field operations, local authorities have advised residents to remain vigilant, particularly in areas known for recent sightings. They are also providing guidance on how to identify king cobras and what steps to take if one is encountered.

As of now, only one injury has been reported related to the migration of these snakes. An attendee of Alpha Peen Convention was bitten. Trager Dickmoore of Farmington, Utah abruptly exited the convention at Kegel Bopkins house with the intention with the intention of wrangling all the snakes. “I left Kegels house so jacked on pre-workout, bro! I wasn’t trying to save anyone or anything like that. I just wanted to assert my dominance over nature. That snake messed with the wrong alpha-bro! I’m gonna go snap him like a twig when I get out of this hospital” said Trager. Unfortunately, Trager perished later that evening in a helicopter crash. Dickmoore, apparently did not have a license to fly his private helicopter.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox took time out of his game to do his part by wacking a large cobra with his pickleball racket.

Further updates on the situation will be provided as new information becomes available. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and partner agencies are working tirelessly to ensure the safe recovery of the remaining cobras and to mitigate any potential threats to the public.
