Indian Girl And Her Cobras

What a little charmer: Indian girl, 8, eats sleeps and plays with King Cobras

This little charmer calls these King Cobras her best friends - even though she has survived three venom-filled bites from them.

Villagers in Ghatampur, Uttar Pradesh, India, run in fear when they see eight-year-old Kajol Khan wandering the dusty streets with her deadly friends wrapped around her neck.

She said: 'I have a lot of fun with the cobras. It hurts when they bite me but sometimes it’s my own fault because I tease them. It’s quite funny.'
Look into me eyesssss: Little Kajol comes from a long line of snake catchers, and hopes one day to join the family business

Kajol's father, Taj Mohammad, 55, has worked as Ghatampur's snake catcher for the past 45 years.

He has already passed on his skills to his son Gulab, 28. But now it seems Kajol, the youngest nine, is keen to join the family business.

'I don’t like school,' she said. 'I much prefer working with the snakes.'

'I don’t like school,' she said. 'I much prefer working with the snakes.'

Expelled: Kajol spends all day with her slippery friends - after she was kicked out of school for taking them to class in her backpack

Kajol's father is now famous in his region and is nicknamed Bhura (the snake-catcher). But he earns a measly £14 a job for catching the snakes from houses and shops in the area.

'We help people in the area and catch the snakes that have slipped into their homes,' Taj said.
'My father is a snake catcher, his father was a snake catcher. It’s our family business and we’re very proud of what we do.'

The medicine comes from the leaves of a wild plant, which remains top secret.

It gets mashed to a pulp and mixed with butter and black pepper. It is then eaten and rubbed on the wound.
Keep your distance! But Kajol's parents worry that her friendship with the snakes is stopping her from making friends with other local children

'If the medicine is administered quickly enough it will save you,' Taj said. 'It has saved my life many times and it seems to work for Kajol too.'

But Kajol's mother, Salma Bano, 45, wishes her daughter would grow out of the snake-phase - especially since the youngster was expelled from school for taking her pets to class in her backpack.

'I want her to go to school like other children. If I had my own way I’d get rid of the snakes but she loves them and so I don’t want to break her heart,' said Salma.

'She now refuses to study and will play with the snakes all day.

'I try to make her study at home but she keeps the snakes with her and gets distracted.'

Taj said: 'We don’t have many visitors. People don’t like our pet snakes so they stay away.

'We don’t mind so much, but it’s sad for Kajol. Children are too scared to come round and play with her. She’s just not like other children.'

Her worried mother added: 'She’ll find it hard to find a husband in the future if she doesn’t stop playing with the snakes.'
What a little charmer: Kajol Khan, eight, plays with one of her snakes near her home in Ghatampur, Uttar Pradesh

World's Biggest Snake

World's Biggest Snake in Indonesia

A python found in Indonesia is 14.85m (49ft) long and has a maximum body circumference of 85cm (almost three feet) and weighs 447kg (70 stone, 3lbs).

It was captured by a 58-year-old python expert from east Java who was summoned to Jambi after locals, who stumbled upon it while foraging for wood, were too afraid to approach it.

The expert reportedly neeed 65 helpers to snare the python and the blessing of tribal leaders as pythons are regarded as deities by many locals.

The python is proving to be a major attraction for the zoo, as about 700 people visit the Curugsewu zoo every day to admire the new but rather lazy star.

Even though it’s called “Black Mamba”, its entire body isn’t all in black; the name is particularly given for its inky black mouth. It may be in the color of metal, olive green, dark olive, grey brown and you can see a light band around the body of some of their species. Normally, their skin becomes to darken when they age. They rely upon external heat to regulate their body temperature just like other extant reptiles.
Black Mambas move extremely fast, that is, up to 19.5km/h or 12mph. No wonder, they’re regarded as the fastest snake in the world.
