Anthony Childs, an associate of Bio-Ken snake farm in Watamu on the Kenyan coast, stands in front of a newly discovered giant spitting cobra, measuring nearly nine feet and carrying enough venom to kill at least 15 people, in this picture released by WildlifeDirect December 7, 2007. WildlifeDirect, a conservation group, said the cobras were the world's largest and had been identified as unique. The species has been named Naja Ashei after James Ashe, who founded Bio-Ken snake farm on Kenya's tropical coast where the gigantic serpents are found. [Agencies]
