The world's most famous cobra...

...was found yesterday (my emphasis):

An Egyptian cobra at the Bronx Zoo that had been missing for seven days was discovered “alive and well” on Thursday inside a nonpublic area of the zoo’s Reptile House, not far from where she disappeared, said James J. Breheny, the zoo’s director.

Mr. Breheny said the two-foot-long snake, weighing about three ounces and believed to be several months old, was found coiled in a secluded dark corner “almost exactly as we would have predicted.”

If they correctly "predicted" where the snake would be, why did it take so long to find her? Did they wait until sometime yesterday to make that prediction?
