Five Head Cobra

 

FIVE HEADED COBRA - A Legendry Myth


       In India all epics and temples are constantly blend with wild animals and plants particularly snakes are exhibited from head to foot of God’s further adored with statues, pictures, Paintings and sculptures of five Headed cobr’s.being a culture of wisdom and science, i think all of them were taught to Us for one reason, one fact that is co- existence to “Respect Adore and Serve Nature” they struggle a lot to teach us, to build a culture that lives along with plants and animals treating them equally, but I fear that we have wrecked them unsuccessfully (Unmindfully Depleted the life supporting nature and provoked it against us)
     

Clipping from the News Paper
      Several Local News papers & medias publishes News's on  Five Head snake Even  On 23-4 2010- Local Media (malai malar) & 24-4-2010 kalai kathir there was a media release in Erode, District Tamil. Nadu India, stating that a Person (photographer) living in kadamboor while returning after attending a program ffom near by tribal village on his way, stopped his bike on seeing a snake that displayed it’s hood with a the hissss as usual, and the person (RAMAN) with his cam shot a pic and returned home saw the pic in his computer and was shocked of seeing the 5 headed cobra and he captured the 5 head Snake  at once handled it to the forest department and the piety department is verifying the truth, Here is the picture and Clipping from the News Paper


    The whole city seemed to believe that this is a real snake. Being of Indian they have been exposed to the idea of the five headed snake god Nagaraja, and many have happily accepted that the snake in the photo is an earthly representation of the myth.

  Now lets Compare take a close look at the all images from Internets it is particularly egregious. The only clear thing in this image is the fact that it is obviously fake!

 

What’s that you say? 

let's Use our Brain 

Before u reply i give some more pictures of five headed cobra’s



       Now What’s that you say? Obviously Photo-shopped !!! Yeah, that’s exactly what I said. But, some people might argue, if you can get Two Headed Snakes, why not five headed snakes? Luckily that question is very easy to answer. Animals born with more than one head have a condition called polycephaly (literally “manyheads”) and polycephalic animals only come in two kinds; bicephalic(having two heads) or tricephalic (having three heads). Animals with more than three heads have not been found in this real world


       Searching for images of polycephalic snakes on my favorite search engine yields many images of two headed snakes, and if you look closely you will see that truly polycephalic snakes have morphology which supports the extra head/s. I think that a few images will clearly illustrate my point;these images wheres clearly show that the snakes have two distinct heads. There is no blurring or smudging of the scale the heads split.



Other images available on the media paper is a Photoshopped display  which claim {to be said as the photographers shot , is been copied (downloaded) }from internet to show a snake with five heads are just as blatantly false, the image is a particularly good fake, perhaps too good (pity about the thin strip of background just visible beneath each chin); And the image looks more like a child’s toy than anything else!
  
The Verdict? Five headed snake are rubbish, pls stir  the common sense
Some funny questions

if it is five head which brains command will it obey ?,

if it wants to move which way wil the body move in to the  right of left or ?

will it have to eat with its 5 mouths  5 preys ?,

will it hisss 5 times?

will it have a 5 pair?

pls it is said that  humans have 6 senses but now it is ? i ve  copied the details and photos from various posts and through search engine to clear to my smart intelligent

6 sensed local citizens thanks for my friends and the real stuff creators,







 
NATIONAL  SNAKEBITE INITIATIVE

Asia’s 
Foremost Nonprofit
Envenomation (Snakebite) 

Every year 80,000 people are reported as victims of snakebite and  about 25,000 to 50,000 face agonizing death or permanently  maimed, snakebite is considered as a disease of poor farmer & agricultural workers the down trodden of tropical developing country like India…

The  Burden of Human suffering caused by snake bites has been greatly ignored for far too long in India, it remains one of the most Neglected of all tropical ‘Diseases’, Snakebite (Envenoming) is particularly a cruel misery inflicted on many of the most impoverished Rural communities,  Yet there is no other organized effort similar to "NATIONAL SNAKEBITE INITIATIVE” to Address & cope with the emergencies arising out of Snakes, Snake Attacks, Do’s & Don’s of Snakebites, Information on first aid,  Envenomation Treatment Trainings, Facilities, Studies & education, especially in Developing INDIA.

Problems/Needs
Yet there is no other organized effort similar to 
"NATIONAL SNAKEBITE INITIATIVE”
to Address & cope with the emergencies arising out of   Snakes, Snakebites, Snakebite treatment, Training & information especially in 
Developing INDIA…

Medical Documents however, say over 3 -4 times higher the data of Snakebite death rate and snake bite in India as 25,000 - 50,000


       
          
          Snakebite a Neglected Tropical Disease in 21st Century- Says: - World Health Organization...Early in 2009, snake-bite was finally included in the WHO’s list of Neglected tropical diseases confirming the experience in many parts of this region that snake-bite is a common occupational hazard of farmers, plantation workers and others, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths each year and many cases of chronic physical handicap

        Envenoming snakebite is largely a neglected threat to public health. It affects mainly the poor in deprived rural areas where health facilities and are limited and anti-venoms may be hard to obtain. Training of health staff in the management of envenoming is often neglected, despite good evidence that it improves outcome. Concerted action is needed to ensure supplies of effective antivenoms and to develop systems that deliver good quality health care to snake bite victims so that we can deal effectively with this problem, which causes severe disability, brings misery to families and which kills thousands of people.


        Total ignorance prevails about snakes and snakebite in India. Due to deep rooted superstitions many precious lives are lost and snakes are hounded and killed. Part of the problem is Common. People are usually not trained to deal with a snakebite emergency. Preparation, which includes knowing in advance about the basic knowledge about snakebite and how to get to the nearest hospital- could greatly reduce anxiety and lead to more effective care. The best solution is to educate people - disseminate information about snakes and snakebite - what are snakes, when and why do they bite, how to avoid getting bitten, what to do when bitten etc. as National Snakebite Initiative does to help to understand the Neglected Disease (Snakebite)

Common Snakes of South India & Information on Snakebites

CLICK HERE  to Support this Project / Snakebite Victims Snakes Senses Snakes probably don’t see color. Many are near-sighted, included the vipers and all the burrower. Tree snakes, rat snakes and the king cobra all have good vision and can see you coming from quite far away. Some sea snakes have light sensors in their tail. Snakes can smell with their nostrils but they rely mainly on the combination of their sensitive tongue and the jacobson’s organ in roof of the mouth The heat sensitive “pits” between the nostrils and the eye in pit vipers can detect temperature change as slight as three thousands of a degree Centigrade (0.003 deg.c) Pits are very helpful in finding warm-blooded rodents or birds or even slightly warm frog or toad on a cool dark night. Pythons have similar infrared receptors along their upper lips. Snakes can actually “hear” very low frequency sounds in the 200 to 500 Hz range. They have no ears or eardrums but low sounds that hit the sid

Snake Safety Guidelines: Summary

Snake Safety Guidelines: Summary Once you have made a realistic assessment of danger and determined that there is a need for intervention, you need to safely move or contain the animal in a way that minimizes risks to officers and bystanders. In some cases you may have the option of calling in a local snake expert who can dispatch the closest licensed volunteer to the scene, but in other cases you will have to deal with the problem yourself. It is important to not to over-react or under-react, but to calmly gain control of the situation. Keep your cool, move slowly and deliberately and keep safety risks minimized by not causing the snake pain, because an injured animal is always a much more dangerous animal. Use long tools or professional snake handling tools to extend your reach. Realistic assessment of danger - In many cases there is no need for officer intervention. Factors to consider are whether the snake is harmless or venomous, native or an esc
