Why Snake Island is one of Earth's deadliest places: 4,000 venomous vipers per square metre, even the Navy stays away
Just 33 kilometres off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil, lies a place few dare to approach, Ilha da Queimada Grande , better known as Snake Island. Its nickname isn't just folklore. The island is home to an estimated 2,000–4,000 golden lancehead viper s ( Bothrops insularis ), one of the most venomous snakes in the world. So dangerous is this rocky, forest-covered island that Brazil has banned all public access. Even the Navy only visits once a year, and always with a doctor and antivenom in tow. Where Is Snake Island and Why Are There So Many Snakes? Snake Island is located in the Atlantic Ocean, around 90 km southwest of São Paulo city. Over 11,000 years ago, rising sea levels cut off the hill from mainland Brazil. With no predators and little mammal prey, the isolated population of snakes evolved to hunt birds, especially migratory species. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 10년 묶은 뱃살 안빠진다면 '이것' 하세요 워킹맘 로즈 더 알아보기 Undo To catch their fast-moving prey mid-flight, the golden lancehead evolved venom up to five times more potent than its mainland relatives. A single bite can cause kidney failure, internal bleeding, and tissue necrosis. Meet the Golden Lancehead Viper Scientific Name- Bothrops insularis Average Length- 70–90 cm Venom Strength- ~5x stronger than mainland Bothrops jararaca Main Prey- Migratory birds like the Chilean elaenia IUCN Status- Critically Endangered Despite their lethal bite, there are no verified medical cases of bites on the island—because almost no one is allowed to set foot there. Live Events Why Humans Are Banned from Visiting Snake Island Several reasons justify the strict ban: 1. Human Safety The island's steep cliffs and dense forest, combined with one snake per square metre in some areas, make rescue almost impossible in emergencies. 2. Conservation In the past, wildlife smugglers offered up to Rs 25 lakh ($30,000) per golden lancehead for the exotic pet trade. Poaching has since threatened the snake's survival. 3. Scientific Access Only Only approved herpetologists with federal permits and a medical escort are allowed. They must carry satellite phones and enough antivenom for the entire team. Snake Island Myths and the Real Threats Tales abound of pirates planting snakes to guard treasure, or a lighthouse keeper's family dying mysteriously. But science offers a simpler explanation: isolation, evolution, and bird-based hunting. What's more disturbing are the real threats the golden lancehead faces: Illegal poaching, which damages genetic diversity Shrinking bird populations due to deforestation on the mainland Inbreeding, leading to deformities and lower fertility Some researchers warn that removing just 25–40 snakes per year could drive the species to extinction. Can Tourists Visit Snake Island? No. The Brazilian government has made it illegal for civilians to land on the island. Only approved scientific teams are allowed to enter, and even they face rigorous health and safety checks. What's the Bigger Story Behind Snake Island? Though the island's nickname fuels countless horror stories, its real tale is one of survival. The golden lancehead is critically endangered. While it may seem like a deadly predator, it's the one now fighting to stay alive—battling climate change, habitat loss, and human greed. Ironically, its venom holds potential for treating high blood pressure and other disorders. So, while humans can't visit, saving Snake Island could help save lives. Snake Island FAQs Q1: How many snakes live on Snake Island? Approximately 2,000–4,000 golden lancehead vipers. Q2: Why is the golden lancehead so venomous? To quickly kill birds before they fly away with the snake's only meal. Q3: Can you legally visit with a private boat? No. Only scientists with federal permits and medical support may land. Q4: Does anyone live on the island? No. The lighthouse was automated in the 1920s, and no humans live there. Q5: Is the golden lancehead endangered? Yes. It's listed as Critically Endangered due to poaching and inbreeding. Snake Island may sound like something out of a thriller movie, but it's a very real place with very real stakes. The golden lancehead's home is dangerous to humans, but humans have proven far more dangerous to the snake. Protecting this isolated island is no longer just about avoiding a deadly bite, it's about saving a species on the edge. Inputs from TOI

The Role of Arm Swing in Walking: How to Use Your Arms for Better Momentum
Swinging your arms while walking isn't just a casual habit; it's a biomechanical advantage. This natural motion enhances walking efficiency, boosts momentum, and improves balance. Research indicates that arm swinging conserves energy, engages upper body muscles, and promotes better posture, transforming a simple walk into a more effective workout. Walking is one of the most effective and simple forms of physical activity. Though walking may look simple, the mechanics behind it are far more complex. While walking, people swing their arms. Ever wondered why we do this? Swinging your arms can significantly impact your walking efficiency, speed, and has other health benefits. Arm movement not only boosts momentum but also improves balance, posture, and overall energy efficiency. Let's understand how the power of arm swing can transform a daily stroll into a more effective exercise. Arm swing matters Most of us swing our arms when we walk or run. Most importantly, our arms and legs are in sync with each other. This is because the human body is designed to move in a coordinated manner. And the arm swing is there to counterbalance leg movement. When you step forward with your right leg, your left arm naturally swings forward to maintain balance and reduce rotational forces on the torso. This natural rhythm minimizes energy expenditure and stabilizes the body. A study published in 2014 in The Journal of Experimental Biology found that swinging arms save energy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Why These Off-Plan Dubai Apartments Sell Fast? Binghatti Developers FZE Read More Undo When it comes to running, swinging arms counterbalance the momentum of a person's legs, providing stability to the runner. The study observed 13 participants and compared the energy cost of running in four different positions. They looked at the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production while running. The researchers found that swinging your arms uses 3% less energy than keeping your hands behind your back, 9% less energy than folding your arms over your chest, and 13% less energy than running with your hands above your head. The study notes that the muscular power used while holding the arms in unusual positions may contribute to some of the extra energy cost. 'Overall, we believe that our comprehensive approach to testing our running arm swing hypothesis provides the most conclusive evidence to date that arm swing provides a metabolic benefit during human running,' the study author concluded. Indian Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla Grows Moong, Methi In Space Aboard Axiom-4 Mission How to use your arms for better momentum No doubt, swinging arms while walking and running can offer some benefits. But how do you do it the right way? Well, being mindful is important. Focus on the natural rhythm of your arms and legs. For best results, avoid carrying objects like phones or bags in your hands, which can disrupt the swing. Incorporating proper arm swing into your walking routine is a simple yet powerful way to improve efficiency, burn more calories, and also improve overall health. Next time you hit the pavement, let your arms lead the way. Along with boosting momentum, arm swing also engages the upper body. Consider it as a low-impact way to tone muscles in the arms, shoulders, and core. You can also burn more calories than your regular walk while swinging your arms. Think of it as a more effective full-body workout. Arm swing also improves posture, as it engages the core and keeps the torso upright, and can reduce strain on the lower back.
