MOST DANGEROUS LIZARS

  MOST DANGEROUS LIZARS Lizards are a diverse group of reptiles that belong to the order Squamata, which also includes snakes. They have scaly skin, four legs (except for some legless species), movable eyelids, and external ear openings. They are mostly carnivorous and have various adaptations to avoid predators, such as venom, camouflage, and tail regeneration. There are more than 7,000 species of lizards in the world, living in different habitats and climates. Some of the most well-known lizards are the Komodo dragon, the chameleon, the gecko, and the iguana. Lizards are not dangerous to humans, however, some lizards are poisonous and can harm a person if they are touched or bitten by these reptiles. Certain lizards, such as the Komodo dragon, can grow to large sizes and have been known to attack and kill people.

Cinnamomum verum

Common Name: “True cinnamon”, Sri Lanka, Ceylon cinnamon
Hindi Name: Dalchini
Tamil Name: Channalavangam, KaruvaMalayalam Name: Elavangam, VayanaKannada Name: Dalchini



Cinnamomum verum  is native to South Asia, but had already been introduced pan-tropically in the 1700s. The fruit are eaten by birds and spread widely, and it has become invasive on Indian and Pacific Ocean islands, especially the Seychelles and Samoa. Once established, it becomes the dominant tree in moist mostly lowland tropical forests, and through competition can gradually affect the species richness of native forest, as the dense canopy shades out all other plants, creating species-poor stands that may cover large areas.. Another species Cinnamomum aromaticum, is less expensive and has a stronger flavor, is often marketed as “cinnamon,” Cinnamomum verum is generally considered to have a more delicate flavor that is more suitable for desserts. The names “cinnamon” and “cassia” cause considerable confusion, as they are often used interchangeably.

SNAKES ARE OUR FRIENDS NOT FOES         Snakes make up a significant proportion of the middle-order predators that keep our natural ecosystems working. Without them the numbers of prey species would increase to unnatural levels and the predators that eat snakes struggle to find food.            The feeding habits of snakes act as a natural form of pest control.   Snakes are predators and feed on a variety of creatures which would harm us and our farm in many ways. Small snakes feed on many harmful bugs and insects. Larger ones eat mice, rats, and other small mammals that can destroy crops or damage personal property.           Snakes tend to effectively control rodent populations in particular.   Snake venom, fat and oil have medicinal property.
