163rd Video of ROUNDSUBE describes about World Snake Day celebrated annually on 16th July. While snakes are threatened by many of the same issues that affect all wildlife (habitat loss, climate change, and disease), negative attitudes toward snakes may be the biggest barrier to their conservation because it often impedes efforts to address other threats. World Snake Day is to increase awareness about the different species of snakes all around the world. Snakes seem to have a negative connotation and a lot of people are scared of snakes. The snakes most likely originated in the warm, forested ecosystems of the Southern Hemisphere around 128 million years ago. Out of more than 3000 species of snakes in the world, some 600 are venomous and over 200 are considered to be medically important. Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger
