Jim Harrison works with monocled cobras to extract their venom at the Kentucky Reptile Zoo, home to thousands of venomous snakes, in Slade, Ky., on Saturday, July 12, 2014. Harrison holds the tail of the cobra between his legs so the snake can't grip his arm while he is extracting the venom. The venom is used in various scientific research projects around the world. The monocled cobra is just one of many venomous snakes kept at the Kentucky Reptile Zoo for venom extraction.
