I am a Sudanese scientist (Dr.) with a keen interest in snakes and venomous organisms. I serve as the Founding Director of the Toxic Organisms Research Centre at the University of Khartoum, Sudan. The majority of the photos I upload are received from the public, reflecting their need to understand the animals they are dealing with.
The Sudanese community is particularly wary and scared of snakes, so the majority of the photos I upload are of dead animals. I hope that people don't get judgmental. I wanted to share some of the biodiversity of Sudan here while highlighting the critical need for our research and awareness efforts. We have managed to change a lot of the perspectives towards snakes in Sudan and are still doing so.
