  1. A hidden crisis in Kerala's healthcare: Did you know there is no specific antivenom for the Hump-nosed Pit Viper or the King Cobra in India? With cases rising in plantations and forests, experts are calling for urgent research and local venom collection. Stay safe and stay informed.

    Dilarang mengetuk cermin (MY) = do not knock on glass (EN)

    Which seems like good advice, given what lurks behind it!

    At a rural fire station somewhere in Malaysia, they keep some #snakes for training the officers and also to show locals about how to identify snakes and how to stay safe as many are venomous)

    Folk are encouraged to stand clear and call 999 / 112 rather than attempt to catch them themselves (this works the same as in UK and the calls from mobiles are geolocated if possible using #GNSS)

  7. When Police raid a gang pad you expect they'll find drugs and/or guns. But a raid in Dunedin today was looking for... crayfish.

    Yep. Almost four tonnes of crays have been stolen from a commercial business over 12 months and it looks like the King Cobra gang were involved.

    Their gang pad was restrained by police who describe the enterprise as “a large-scale, organised crayfish crime ring”.

    The story doesn't say if they were wearing patches.

  8. Unusual and interesting.

    "Mr Shivaram Rasu, scientific officer of the Herpetological Society of Singapore, confirmed that both snakes were indeed king cobras, and said that the finding appeared to be the first reliable documentation of king cobra cannibalism in the wild in Singapore."

  10. So…a king cobra is on the run at Skansen in Stockholm.
    Well…not ”on the run” per se… seeing as it is snake. 🐍

    The staff makes clear that it is very venomous…and big.
    They also say that this is something that really shouldnt happen….at all.
    Slithering death = bad.

    Well…it is…somewhere. 🤣
