Cobras Found Near Mount Everest: Cobra is included among the most poisonous snakes in the world. These snakes are often found in tropical and moist areas such as paddy fields, marshes and mangrove forests. However, due to climate change, now these poisonous snakes are also seen in such places where they were never seen before. Recently, 10 poisonous snakes have been found near Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, including 9 King Cobra and a monocal cobra. The presence of these snakes has also shocked scientists. According to experts, it is the effect of climate change to meet this snake here.
In a period of one month, 10 highly highly poisonous snakes were found in Kathmandu and its surrounding areas. It is a matter of concern that all these snakes have been found just 160 km from Mount Everest near the Himalayas. According to scientists, this is not only an unexpected event, but a warning of widespread impacts of climate change. These toxic snakes found in cold areas are indicated that now there is a need to take quick and effective steps to prevent climate change. Apart from this, it is also very important to understand and accept the changes in biodiversity.
Scientists believe that these snakes going towards cold areas are not a normal migration. Due to climate change, these organisms are being forced to leave their traditional housing. Research has shown that the temperature in the hilly and mountainous regions of Nepal is rising at an average of 0.05 ° C every year, which is faster than the Terai region. This makes warm microclimate in these areas, which are creating a favorable environment for these tropical organisms.
According to scientists, snakes like King Cobras in the hilly areas are the effect of climate change, but if the rescue instructor Subodh Acharya believes that it is possible that these snakes have rode in trucks with wood or straw and reached the height areas from the lower low areas. Such unintentional movement may have helped these snakes to spread in new areas. Every year about 2700 people die due to snake bite in the Terai region of Nepal. Many types of snake species are found in the Terai areas, but due to the arrival of these snakes to Kathmandu, it has become a matter of discussion worldwide.
