Indian Snakes Can Deliver Venom After Death, Study Shows

Scientists have discovered that some Indian snake species, like cobras and kraits, can still inject venom even after they are dead.

Imagine a snake's head biting and injecting poison hours after it's been cut off.

Researchers found this out after studying several incidents in Assam, India.

People got bitten by what they thought were dead snakes and experienced pain, swelling, and sometimes more serious problems.

This happens because the snake's venom delivery system can still function after the snake is no longer alive.

The structure of the venom apparatus is the reason for that.

So, it's important to be careful around dead snakes!
