From Zoo Tycoon Wiki
Kingcøbrasaurus is one of of Fantasy Fanatics and Cryptid Creators' designers.
I'm not a human being like some members are. I'm a King Cobra who knows how to read, talk, and type on the computer. One day, I and my reptilian minions will rule the world. Bearing that in mind, you must seriously consider against ticking me off.
I am a budding designer, having started in early December 2007, and now I have gotten better at it. I am 14 years old, but I don't really sound it. And I spend my days in a terrarium somewhere in California, where I attend Middle School.
I know how to code, mesh and skin, and I'm a gifted writer, thus I love writing zoopedias. I'm good at them all, but not great. My very first released animals were living dinosaurs. I am designing because it's fun being creative.

History
Kingcobrasaurus was born in a nest in the Indian rainforest. Just after he hatched, he and his clutch were captured by animal smugglers. He and his siblings were taken to an illegal facility where exotic animals were kept. Kingcobrasaurus and his siblings may have been destined to be turned into purses or boots. Kingcobrasaurus and his siblings were kept there in a terrarium. Kingcobrasaurus saw an open book near the desk where the terrarium was. He found a way out of the tank, then read the book, which turned out to be a dictionary and thesaurus. That's how Kingcobrasaurus learned to read and talk. A woman named Shelby came in the room and saw Kingcobrasaurus reading. Shelby wasn't really working for the smugglers. She was actually just posing as a worker to free all the animals. Shelby set free pretty much all of Kingcobrasauurs's siblings, and then took Kingcobrasaurus into her office, where she performed a lot of tests on him. She then kept him in her office's reptile tank, and spent a few days looking for people who would like to adopt a King Cobra. She found a married couple in California, and sent Kingcobrasaurus to them. These two were licensed herpetologists, who had experience with venomous snakes in the past. On the phone, she explained to Kingcobrasaurus's new owners the circumstances. Somehow, it is uncertain why, Kingcobrasaurus roughly had the intelligence and life expectancy of a human being.
Kingcobrasaurus was brought to California by cargo plane, and began his new life in California. Shelby is his vet. His owners managed to get him into school as well. Kingcobrasaurus poses as a class pet, and listens to the teacher talking. He has a good memory, so he can remember most things that the teacher says. The human parents go in every week and ask the teacher for a copy of the week's homework and Kingcobrasaurus does it. Kingcobrasaurus can use a computer. He types by pressing the keys with the tip of his snout, and moving the mouse with his tail. Today Kingcobrasaurus is 14 years old and 12&1/2 feet long. He weighs 10 lbs and 7 ounces. He originally weighed 18 lbs, but recently his parents found out that the live prey they have been feeding him was the wrong species, and Kingcobrasaurus had very large amounts of rotting and undigested food in his stomach, due to the bodily structure of the frogs that have been fed to him. A recent shift to feeding him American Toads have corrected this problem and he has lost 8 pounds dramatically. He has never bitten anybody, and he doesn't really want to. He only has three friends, but that's because he mostly wants to keep it secret that he's a talking snake. Kingcobrasaurus talks by exhaling air through the trachea, which creates voice. Parrots talk in the same way. Kingcobrasaurus was much like a parrot when he was a toddler snake.
Online History
Kingcobrasaurus discovered the internet when he was 8 years old. He had learned to type long before, but he wasn't very good at it yet. So he made a lot of spelling mistakes and often spelled in all capitals. He was browsing for cheats for a game called Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. He found a site called Neoseeker, and joined it. That was Kingcobrasaurus's very first forum. He told two his friends, Daniel and Matt, and they joined it too. Kingcobrasaurus and his friends spent over 4 years enjoying neoseeker, at first discussing the sonic games but then posting in the Pokemon forums as well. But Kingcobrasaurus abandoned Neoseeker when he had just turned 13. At that time, he had discovered Zoo Tycoon Volcano and decided to learn designing. Besides, he wasn't very interested in Sonic or Pokemon anymore. One year later, Kingcobrasaurus has become skilled at designing, but shortly left due to a troublesome hacker and a vicious argument taking placer at the time by people who did not believe that he was really a king cobra. However, about four months later he made an epic comeback, surprising everybody. A few people are not happy to see him back, but most people thankfully are.
Playing Video games
Kingcobrasaurus likes video games. He can hold a DS stylus or wii controller with his tail. He loves PC games the most, because they're easiest to play for a creature with no arms. He loves Zoo Tycoon games. He discovered Zoo Tycoon after enjoying games like Roller Coaster Tycoon. He took a break from ZT2 for about a year but then got back into it after he saw that Extinct Animals was coming out. He discovered the ZT fansites from a youtube video that had BadisBadis101's American Alligator in it. Kingcobrasaurus learned to design and now has made over 30 downloads. He is still working on completing all the campaigns in ZT2.
Kingcobrasaurus also likes Spore. He plays it on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and loves it. He has made over 500 creations and has about 50 achievements right now. But that's not even half of all the achievements you can get!
Kingcobrasaurus liked the Pokemon games when he was little. Sometimes he plays it on his DS.
Other Interests
Kingcobrasaurus enjoys reading very much. He loves novels, and one of the very first books he ever read was Harry Potter. He also likes to write. Since he is a good speller, with a broad vocabulary knowledge, he can write great stories. He is working on two novels right now.
He also likes science. He knows a lot about animals, but also enjoys learning about Astonomy, Archaeology and Mythology. His favorite ancient civilizations were the Greeks and Egyptians. He thinks that the Romans were just lazy plagiarists and copycats who were jealous of the Greeks. His favorite mythological creature is the many-headed Hydra. He also likes Apep of Egyptian mythology.
Because of his status as a King Cobra, Kingcobrasaurus obviously cannot go out into public. For the majority of his childhood he was always behind with the times, unable to see the latest movies or go out and buy the latest books/games. But later the problem was solved. His adopters might look strange carrying a backpack around everywhere, but it's necessary in order for them to take their pet out in public. If you look closely you may see a pair of brownish-green eyes peek out of the backpack.
Fringe Science, especially Cryptozoology and Paranormal studies, especially interest him. Generally, Kingcobrasaurus believes everything that he sees, as long as it's scientifically possible (by his standards.) People often make fun of him for believing that there are surviving non-avian dinosaurs in the Congo of Africa. People also laugh at him for thinking that Megalodon is actually a kind of large, fish-eating Requiem Shark.
If you really want to tick off Kingcobrasaurus, make a spelling / grammar mistake, or express your extreme lack of knowledge on animals. If you want to send him into a rage, show him a picture of a maniraptoran dinosaur that doesn't have feathers.
Other Notes
Even though one of his friends is a girl, Kingcobrasaurus is not interested in dating because he is the only cobra in his town. He is also against pornographic pictures and underage viewing of explicit films. He is very sensitive to violence.
Kingcobrasaurus fights strongly for his beliefs, although he has no religious or political views. He is more interested in animals than anything else. Despite the format of this article, he does not actually speak in third-person like Elmo does. In fact, he has the vocabulary and reading level of a college graduate. Kingcobrasaurus wants to be an anonymous author and cryptozoologist when he grows up.
Did you know that he has his own company? Yup, it's true! Happy Buffalo Studios is a company founded by Kingcobrasaurus. Besides Kingcobrasaurus, the team consists of 2 boys and 1 girl, who are his real-life friends.
Kingcobrasaurus's worst fear is knives and other blade-like objects. He also fears being beheaded or sliced in half.
