granted us access to the island and even
invited us along to accompany them

days even soaping washing your hands
with soap it's very steam since its
foundation the Butantan Institute has
been at the forefront of developing
biopharmaceuticals from snake venom
every year thousands of Brazilian
plantation workers are bitten by snakes
scientists at Butantan I've cut the
death rate way down here poisonous
reptiles live in palatial quarters
induced to you their venom so that
serums can be made to combat the
activities of other poisonous recluse
Marcelo is one of the Institute's lead
researchers and he and his team are
experts on the medical potential of the
golden lancehead and other similar
species mr. Wallas Francois's no venom

awesome so hang on the internet or its
university that potentially thought it
was very innocent
Marcelo is one of only a handful of
scientists to set foot on snake island
a place that he says is ecologically
unique and has the potential would be
the source of revolutionary developments

COLLADA that's idea when snake island
first separated from the mainland the
island species of snake began to evolve
on a separate path from its mainland
cousin but since the island contains no
natural predators our ground level prey
for the snakes the golden lancehead took
the hunt to the trees or migratory birds
perched during pit stops on their long
journeys the result was the golden
lancehead developing an incredibly
potent and specialized fast-acting venom
that kills the birds in
Marcella was unavailable to join us on
our trip so instead he sent us with his
fellow boon Tintin researcher Karina
Rodriguez and a few of their colleagues
we were also joined by Angela a

bitten by a snake system organized trust
Jamaal here you talk the avro of the
