54. Two-headed snakes are similar to conjoined twins, an embryo begins to split to create identical twins, but the process does not finish.

Such snakes rarely survive in the wild because the two heads have duplicate senses, they fight over food, and one headmay try to eat the other head.

55. In 2009, a farm worker in Kenya survived an epic 3-hour battle with a 12-foot python after accidentally stepping on the large snake.

It coiled around the man and carried him into a tree. The man wrapped his shirt over the snake’s mouth to prevent it from swallowing him, and he was finally rescued by police after calling for help on his cell phone.

35. In Vietnam, it is possible to order a cobra blood wine from restaurant menu.

The waiter will take a live cobra, kill it on the spot, drain the blood into a shot glass of rice wine, and top it off with the cobra’s still beating heart for you to gulp down.

are there any health benefit concerning that?
