"The Butanta Institute in Sao..." São Paulo Warnings Or Dangers Tip by AndreasK

São Paulo Warnings and Dangers: 44 reviews and 18 photos

 
 

The Butanta Institute in Sao Paulo is one of the world's leading centers for the study of poisonous snakes. At the research center, poisonous snakes are milked of their venom for serum. Although this process is itself no longer open for visitor observation, there is still plenty to see at this truly unusual place, which holds tens of thousands of snakes. The picture shows an Anaconda, the Amazon's biggest snake, spends most of its time in water, where it lies in wait for prey.
