QotW - 25.09.12 - Can snakes be tamed with milk?
« on: Today at 09:37:01 »
Sva with an interesting question:

'In Africa, there are stories of snakes becoming tame when around breast feeding babies. There would even be instances when a breast feeding mother would spray breast milk on the snake to tame it. Is this a legend or is there a scientific explanation to this phenomenon?'
