Sakes: The Spitting Cobra

by Colin Jones

The species of snake called the spitting cobra is very unusual as it not only has a poisonous bite but it also spits venom into the eyes of its prey and aggressors. Contact of this venom with your eyes is very painful and can even blind you temporarily, therefore, if you get cobra venom in your eyes, irrigate them with water at once in order to prevent permanent tissue damage.

The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is also remarkable in this large family of snakes (elapidae) bexause it feeds almost entirely on other snakes with mice and small birds also falling prey to its poison.

The King Cobra is also unique because of its size – it can reach 5.85m (almost 20 feet) in length, which makes it the longest poisonous snake in the world. The latest discovery of a new species of cobra was made in 2003 when it was identified by London Zoo as part of an illegal shipment of exotic pets.

DNA studies revealed that this new species of snake is similar to the red spitting cobra but has different genes. It seems to originate from an area between Sudan and Egypt and it has been called the ‘Nubian Spitting Cobra’.

Although they are highly dangerous when threatened cobras will rarely attack if you keep your distance from them, although the spit can travel very accurately for two meters. Compared to the strike of a rattlesnake, the cobra is rather slow in its attack and besides that, many bites prove to be non-venomous.

Statistics of a study conducted on Malaysian cobra snake victims indicate that only 55% of the bites involved poison release and the same statistics indicate a mortality rate of only 10% for people bitten, since the poisons injected into the blood of the prey destroy the nerves (neurotoxins), which induces respiratory failure approximately half an hour after being bitten, so you have 30 minutes to seek help.

Their colouration varies from light green-grey to black, althugh juveniles are yellow and black banded.This snake is widespread throughout south-eastern Asia.

Traveling with Dogs

by Anya Dee

Although its April, the weather in Chicago has been cold! In fact, we had snow yesterday. Good thing that I have a dog who couldn’t be bothered with the temperature. Snow, rain, winds, Janey loves to go out. Like a good owner, I bought a few extra-warm sweaters and a good fleece jacket and we’re off! One thing I love to do with my dog is go on road trips. Here are a few things to be aware of when you’re planning on traveling with your dog.

My old way of traveling was to wait until the night before a trip and grab whatever I can, hoping to remember what to bring. The next time, I will have a plan to stick to prior to leaving. I am starting my planning about a month before the trip.

Be sure to have an ID tag for your dog. Make sure it includes your dogs name, your name, and contact information. You may also want to put your vets number on the tag. I like having a secondary phone number just in case.

Get a first aid kit for your pet. You don’t know what you may encounter when traveling. Especially when you stop frequently and let your pet relieve himself in high grass. He could pick up a tick or get scratched. Be sure to have something to handle minor injuries.

You may want to visit a vet prior to leaving. Ask about special vaccines. I focus on Lyme’s disease vaccinations because we spend a lot of time outside in the wild. Heartworm prevention medication is a necessity too because where there is still water, there are mosqitos. If you’re going to stay in a hotel, consider getting some flea protection also, as a courtesy to the establishment.

Be sure to bring an air-tight container with your dog’s food. You don’t want to have to switch foods while traveling because your brand isn’t available. Pack bowls and paper towels. A good rule is to bring a few gallons of water for the road. If you let your dog out on the way, you can be sure to have water for your animal. Put together your dog’s necessities such as the collar, leash, brus, toys, towels, plastic bags for clean up and medicines. An old blanket can serve as a resting spot for your dog if you go camping.

Know what you’re going to do about meals while traveling. You could eat fast-food, or you could just bring a big cooler and plenty of ice. I like the later. That way I can find a picnic table and everyone can eat together outside, weather permitting. With a dog, depending on the age, plan on stopping every 4 hours to let the dog stretch, get some water, and relieve himself.

** According to the ASPCA, on a warm day the inside of your vehicle can heat up to 160 in minutes? NEVER leave a pet in a car, even with the windows open, in warm weather! **

There are great places in the US to explore during summer with your dog. State parks and camp grounds are a favorite of mine. With a little planning, you should be able to have a great vacation and bring your dog with!

Experiments on pigs I don’t understand

by Albert Hennet

It’s well-known for now that by injecting fetal pig embryos with phosphorescent dyes the adult pigs will have green skin and glow in the dark. All I can say about this is: Yeah, what an excellent research! It is even difficult for me to count the number of times I needed to find my home pig in the midnight and I had to struggle to find my glasses and turn on a light. This will sure be a huge time saver for me, I can tell you, now that I can get a pig that will shine as bright as day.

My question for the scientists is whether they bothered to consult the Lord God Almighty before they did this. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Old Jehovah still own the patent for creating new life? I don’t know, maybe it expired. It’s a good thing that they were able to do this before they did another wasteful project like curing cancer. Cancer’s been around forever, but this is the first time we’ve ever had glow in the dark pork and I would rather have that over cancer any darn day. Wouldn’t you?

There is a real purpose for the scientists to make these unique porcines. And that purpose is to … find their pigs in the dark, I guess. Okay, that’s not the reason they gave. They said it was so that they could track medicines that could be used in human beings because pigs are often used for animal research since they are so close to human beings. I know you ladies will claim that this is only true for the half of the human race, but it really is all of us.

So, that’s why the scientists say they did it, but let’s face fact here: The real reason is that it’s just plain fun. Wouldn’t you want a pet that glowed in the dark? I sure would. And we all know that pigs make wonderful pets. Look at George Clooney. He has a Vietnamese pot bellied pig and he just loves the thing. Sure they get a might heavy as they get older, but most of us do and I would personally love a huge fat pet that made me feel skinny by comparison.

Then let’s take this a step further. Say that for some reason you do get tired of your huge green glowing friend? Glowing pork chops. Mmm, mmm. That would be sort of like a candle light meal, only you wouldn’t be eating your meal by candle light but by the light of the meat itself. Imagine how much more romantic that would be.
