Reporter "The Jemaa el Fna marketplace is a very charming place. That cobra belongs to the snake charmer."

Trivia[edit]

  • The Cobra is stated to prefer nomadic music. However, in real life, snakes have no outer ear with which to hear music. Their behavior during a snake charming performance is actually due to seeing the snake charmer and their instrument as a threat.
