GURGAON:
The Gurgaon wildlife department said it has rescued an “unprecedented” 450 poisonous snakes of different categories in last two months, including some from high-rise apartments.
Officials pointed that such a high number of snakes being rescued from residential areas may be linked to very hot summers this year. However, the start of monsoon has given some relief to the residents and the number has come down, they said.
“The atmospheric temperature was very high in summer season this year which is considered ideal breeding situation for reptiles. We have rescued majority of the snakes from localities adjoining the Aravalli mountain,” said Anil Gadass, the Gurgaon wild life officer and an expert rescuer.
“So far, 450 snakes have been rescued in July and August in residential complexes, including high-rise apartments,” said Anil Gadass, the Gurgaon wild life officer and an expert rescuer.
