Snake Island: Dangerous place in the world
About half a million islands exist, one of which is Cue Mata Grande. It is known to be one of the most perilous travel destinations worldwide. We will inspect why it is so dangerous in this article. The island appears to be a fantastic resort, located in the Atlantic Ocean. However, it does not host any tourists. Situated just 35 kilometers off the shore of Brazil, south of Sao Paulo, humans are prohibited from entering the island due to the dangerous local snakes. The locals named the island 'snake' for good reason. The territory inhabits approximately 12,000 venomous snakes, averaging five snakes per square meter of the island's land. According to one theory, the island separated from Brazil about 11,000 years ago due to a significant rise in sea levels. The snakes that remained found themselves in isolation and struggled to find food, affecting their future descendants' aggressiveness. The migrating birds that used the island as a stopover became the snakes' food source. The snakes are excellent tree climbers and can effortlessly hunt birds and lizards. They are very aggressive, can camouflage themselves, and adapt to their surroundings. The island hosts thousands of snake species, including the most dangerous snake in the world, the Bothrops insularis. Its bite results in the necrosis of muscle tissue. The Bothrops insularis, also known as the golden lancehead pit viper, is a venomous species that is critically endangered and can only be found naturally on the island. The snake feeds on birds and has been stranded on the island for thousands of years due to the rising ocean levels that occurred after the last ice age. As a result of this isolation, the snakes have undergone rapid evolution to adapt to their new surroundings, leading to a significant increase in their population. This has made the island too dangerous for public visitation, and only the Brazilian Navy and a select few researchers who have been screened by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation - a Brazilian federal conservation unit - are granted access.

Why honey badger is so daring and ferocious?
The Mellivora capensis, commonly known as the honey badger or ratel, is a mammal found extensively across Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Its habitat diversity and wide distribution have led to its classification as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The honey badger, the sole living species in the Mellivora genus and Mellivorinae subfamily of mustelids, differs notably from other badger species and shares more characteristics with weasels. Predominantly carnivorous, this species faces few natural predators owing to its strong defense mechanism, thickness of skin, and power. Honey badgers are the largest terrestrial mustelids in Africa, with males weighing between 9 to 16 kg (20 to 35 lb) and females weighing between 5 to 10 kg (11 to 22 lb) on average. They can measure up to 28 cm (11.0 in) in shoulder height and 77 cm (30 in) in body length, with an additional 12-30 cm (4.7-11.8 in) of tail length. Studies show that this species can weigh anywhere between 6.4 to 12 kg (14 to 26 lb), with an average weight of around 9 kg (20 lb). The honey badger ranks as the third largest known badger and fourth largest terrestrial mustelid, following the European badger, hog badger, and wolverine. However, some honey badgers found in Iraq have weighed up to 18 kg (40 lb), which is comparable to male European badgers and wolverines in late autumn. Conversely, honey badgers in India were relatively smaller, with an adult female and two males weighing 6.4 kg (14 lb) and a median of 8.4 kg (19 lb). Male honey badgers have a skull length of 13.9–14.5 cm (5.5–5.7 in), while females have a skull length of 13 cm (5.1 in).
