Nalbari Forest Range Officials in Assam Rescued 19 Cobras

The officials of Nalbari forest Range said that these 19 Cobras were later released into the wild.

"In one of the big breakthroughs by our staff, 19 numbers of cobras have been rescued & released into the wild by Nalbari Forest Range team under North Kamrup Division".

Earlier in May this year a king cobra was rescued by the snake man Saurav Borkotoki and forest department officials at Nepali Pati in Tezpur. The cobra was rescued at the house of Ramesh Agardia in Nepali Pati. They informed Saurav Borkotoki and the forest department. Forest department officials released the cobra at Bhomoraguri forest.

In a recent report, in over 100 years, a new variety in the family of snake species has been discovered in Assam. The major discovery that identified the new snake species was identified by a team of scientists from India, the UK, and the USA.

This amazing new species of snake, that has been discovered in Assam is a once-in-a-lifetime feat for not only biologists but also the people of the state. Reportedly, it has a distinct bindi-like mark on the back of its neck and hence, it has been named – Rhabdophis Bindi. Abhijit Das of Wildlife Institute of India quoted before the media, "The species is named due to its unique red marking on the back of the neck reminiscent of the red beauty spot adorning foreheads of Indian women called 'bindi'."

"Although the majority of zoological discoveries are from northeastern states of Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram, the discovery of 'Rhabdophis bindi' from Assam shows that more such undiscovered species could exist in the well-explored parts of the region," he added. Meanwhile, we wait for further information on this amazing variety of invertebrates.
