World Snake Day is held yearly on every 16th July. It aims to increase awareness regarding the over 3,500 snake species that exist across the world. Yes, that’s a lot of snakes! And, guess what? Not all of them are as scary or “poisonous” as we believe them to be. Appropriately, word to use for “toxic” snakes that can “inject” venom is venomous snakes and not poisonous snakes. Snakes are often not given the recognition they deserve just because of the bad reputation they have earned over the years. For instance, a friend who is a traitor is known as a ‘snake.’
The day aims to change the negative perception surrounding snakes and promote the love for all living beings — even the ones we fear.
