Today I went climbing again and discovered some of these animals. I looked at them closely, marvelling at the beautiful colours. However, my friends told me that it burns and you get blisters when touch your skin and someone even mentioned that their bite can be deadly! I had not expected this animal to be that dangerous and looked at it with even more respect then. Luckily I did not meet it when I was up on the rock.
In a presentation on Saturday I heard that in Australia live 7 out of the 10 most poisonous snakes in the world while Namibia only has 1. How reassuring! Never mind that the next 10 poisonous snakes can still kill people and several of them exist in Namibia.
