A naja kaouthia cobra was seized in Brasília after biting veterinary medicine student Pedro Henrique Santos Krambeck Lehmkuhl, who had been illegally keeping it at home along with sixteen other snakes, including exotic species. The case drew the attention of the Federal District's civil police, who were investigating a possible animal trafficking scheme. On July 10, 2020, the Brasília Zoo held a photo shoot with the snake, and the images took over social media. Within days, dedicated pages such as “Eu Naja” and “Naja de Brasília” gained tens of thousands of followers on Facebook and Twitter, and on July 11 the word “naja” reached the tenth spot in Brazil's trending topics on Twitter.
