A pilot in South Africa made a hasty emergency landing after discovering a highly venomous cobra hiding under his seat.
Rudolf Erasmus had four passengers on board the light aircraft during Monday's flight when he felt "something cold" slide across his lower back. He glanced down to see the head of a fairly large Cape Cobra "receding back under the seat," he said.
"It was as if my brain didn't know what was going on," he told The Associated Press.
After taking a moment to compose himself, he informed his passengers of the slippery stowaway.
"There was a moment of stunned silence," he said. Everyone stayed cool, especially the pilot.
