Moving the Thiruvananthapuram Zoo far away to Neyyar is not a good idea. Better to spend all that money on improving the zoo to the best international standards for the sake of the animals and the lakhs of children who visit every year!

‘I was 4 years old when I first brought a snake home… and to this day, I continue to be fascinated by snakes.’

Nilgiri Tahr have the amazing ability to scale vertical cliffs and were very skittish in Kodaikanal. As a hunter-teenager, I tried stalking them, but my clumsiness on those steep escarpments could have cost me my life. #SnakesDrugsRockNRoll

Gorgeous, impressive and mighty dangerous, the Russell’s viper doesn’t know it. My first ‘hot’ snake, at age 13, was at Berijam Lake in Kodaikanal. Little did I know then that Russell’s vipers kill tens of thousands of Indians. Neither do they! #SnakesDrugsRockNRoll
