Snakes in Rourkela

 
Rourkela a nice clean city. Its geographical location puts it in a hilly terrain of Western Orissa. Famous for its integrated steel plant, tribal people, gardens, birds Rourkela also has these cobras.
This one was a freshly caught black cobra with all its venom enough to kill a large size horse or a cow.Sanjoy with his uncanny sense of observation interacted with these snake charmers and came to know that they had caught this one from Sector-17. These snake charmers make their living by selling snakes at Kolkata laboratory for thousands of rupees but what a risky business!! Posted by Picasa
