Indeed it is very precious and found it so peaceful (they were about 4). Sad that they are endangered and need to be protected

Hi DanielePralong yes it is in the wild, found in a National Park and am told they are about 100 only remaining in that particular area

The Giraffe is one of my best animals, these are located in Machision falls National park in Uganda, presently there is oil exploration the area and we are worried that the natural habitat for these animals may be destroyed

I have added another picture, am not sure if the two tortoises belong to the same category. this one is a bit darker and the caretaker estimated it to be 90 to 100 years

Thats true, I found it an excellent project in terms of protecting reptiles, I wish it could be expanded to save more snakes

My visit and subsquent posting of these snakes was the desire to promote the villages, where people are doing an important work to protect the snakes and other reptiles despite the fact that many of the caretakers have never been to school (many may not be able to read and write). But found a passion in the reptiles and decided to save them from the communities which are bent on Killing them.
At each of the villages you are required to pay about US $2 meant to maintain the reptiles. They caretakers buy goats, chicken and collect frogs to feed the snakes

All the snakes I posted naturally have their habitat in Uganda. Both snakes at the Snake Village and the reptile village were capture in people's gardens and forests mainly around lake victoria in Uganda. The two projects basically focus on keepin the reptails safe since members of the community Kill them when ever they find them.
One characteristic of this Cobra is it spits, but this is only in adults. This was young and couldnt spit.

Wow, this is great

It is very sad that nearly 90% of its habitat was cleared during construction of the power dam in Mpaga Gorge the remaining 10% is under private land and the owners have been burning them to pave way for cultivation. If nothing is done, the natural habitat for this plant will be gone by the end of next year!

Thanks All, it is a great butterfly indeed
