00:00First of all, what are the areas where snakes are found the most?

00:03And if, God forbid, a snake bites you,

00:06how quickly does the venom spread and how promptly should you proceed to treat it?

00:15Assalamualaikum.

00:16Walaikumassalam.

00:17The environment where snakes are found is extremely hot and humid.

00:29Antarctica is the only continent in the world where snakes are not found.

00:34And Amazon is the largest jungle in the world in terms of biodiversity.

00:42That is why snakes are found the most in Brazil.

00:47They are also found in Australia, right?

00:50Yes.

00:51Apart from Antarctica, the world's most dangerous snake is found in Australia.

01:01There are two species of Inland Taipan.

01:07Taipan and Inland Taipan?

01:08Yes.

01:13The coastal Inland Taipan is less venomous.

01:18And the Inland Taipan is the most venomous snake in the world.

01:24They have made a standard for that.

01:27About 250 rats are killed with a bite of venom.

01:33While our Black Cobra can kill about 100 rats.

01:40And about 150 rats can be killed with the help of a crate.

01:47And about 50 vipers can be killed with the help of a crate.

01:54Okay.

01:55Africa is also dangerous in terms of snakes.

01:59How many Black Cobras are there in Pakistan?

02:03When I did my M.Sc. I was 66 years old.

02:07Now I am 71 years old.

02:09According to statistics, 75% of Pakistan's snakes are non-venomous.

02:20They are not killed with a bite.

02:23They die out of fear.

02:25Yes.

02:26You are absolutely right.

02:29If you are afraid of snakes, you can see the rope hanging in your neck moving.

02:35You are right.

02:38If you use the rope of Agar, who will not be afraid of snakes?

02:42Especially the Cobra.

02:44They will kill you with their hissing.

02:48They are quite scary.

02:51I personally think that the countries that have trained teachers in syllabus,

02:56they make their children female.

02:58I have an incident.

03:00Immediately after my M.Sc. I started teaching in a school in Sadikabad.

03:04I took a snake out of the house.

03:08It is a very thin and shiny snake.

03:12It is called Indian Blind Snake, Indian House Snake, Common House Snake.

03:16It has many names.

03:18Its mouth is so small that it cannot open for biting.

03:20It does not even have a gland.

03:22It is non-poisonous.

03:24I took it to school.

03:26It was in a bottle.

03:28I took it to meet a friend.

03:31When I went down to meet him,

03:33another teacher came and shook the chair.

03:35The bottle fell down.

03:37The snake came out.

03:39The children came running down.

03:41The teacher ran away.

03:43The snake came out.

03:45I told the children,

03:47I did not tell you that it is a non-poisonous snake.

03:49Then why did you not take it?

03:51Go and catch it.

03:53When I went,

03:55a child held it in his hand.

03:57Unfortunately, in our country,

04:00I wanted to know one more thing.

04:02Firstly, there is a lack of awareness.

04:04Secondly,

04:06we have the vaccine and antidotes.

04:08Which snakes are found more in Pakistan?

04:14In Pakistan,

04:16we have 54 dry snakes.

04:18Out of them,

04:2013 snakes are poisonous.

04:2214 are sea snakes.

04:24All of them are deadly venomous.

04:26They are very poisonous snakes.

04:28These snakes are available

04:30in all our hospitals.

04:32They have to be kept in the fridge.

04:34Out of 54 dry snakes,

04:3613 are poisonous.

04:38Out of them,

04:4039-75% are non-poisonous.

04:42These snakes bite someone.

04:44Every year,

04:46thousands of incidents occur.

04:48Is there any difference

04:50between poisonous snakes

04:52and non-poisonous snakes?

04:54There is a difference in attitude.

04:57Non-poisonous snakes

04:59are easy to identify.

05:01In Sheikh Zayed Hospital,

05:03I gave a lecture

05:05to my doctors

05:07on three ways

05:09to identify a poisonous snake.

05:23all the vipers

05:25in the world.

05:27Vipers have

05:29a diamond-shaped head

05:31and a heart-shaped head.

05:33If they have a heart-shaped head,

05:35you can identify

05:37a poisonous snake.

05:58These lines are like spores.

06:00They are only found in a poisonous snake.

06:02Third,

06:04you can identify

06:41that these snakes

06:43harm their farms
