A man called "Ram Chandra" used to come to my school in the 80-90's and educate us on the danger of snakes (he has since passed away).
There is a little talk of it here https://www.mackayandwhitsundaylife.com/article/remembering-the-taipan-man https://www.mackayandwhitsundaylife.com/article/remembering-...
I had seen him get bitten by a bunch of different snakes during his time demonstrating dangerous animals to my school on different occasions, he was always very kind and educational.
I believe he had was also involved in milking snakes and making antivenom, but the specifics evade me.
I believe he went to many different schools educating the small townships of the Australian outback (Imagine more than 20 less than 30) and always had time to answer my stupid questions as a child.
This part of my local culture will be missed.
- thorin 1y agoIt doesn't mention if he died from snake bites... Sounds like an interesting guy!
- stuckkeys 1y ago“Milking snakes…” tempted to put that on gpt and see what that looks like.
- worthless-trash 1y agoI just got off the phone from my parents, they seem to believe it was complications from continuous snake bites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xCoaycbbus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xCoaycbbus He's definitely a machine.
