Have you ever imagined that there is not a single snake in any country? This world is full of wonders. Brazil is a country known as the 'land of snakes'. There are so many snakes here that you will not find such a large number of snakes anywhere else in the world. So there is a country in the world where there is not a single snake! Were you surprised to hear that too? This is the fact. Ireland is a country where you don't see a single snake. The reason behind this is also very interesting.
Ireland with a rich heritage
The country is full of diverse heritage before we know why there are no snakes in Ireland. You may also be surprised to learn that there was already evidence of humankind in Ireland before 12800 BC. Another specialty of Ireland is that there is a bar that opened in 900 and is still running today. Its name is 'Sean's Bar'.
Why aren't snakes seen?
Why aren't snakes found in Ireland after all? There is a myth behind this happening. It is said that in order to protect Christianity in Ireland, a saint named St. Patrick simultaneously took snakes hostage all over the country and threw them into the sea from the island. He completed this work on an empty stomach for 40 days.
What do scientists have to say?
However, scientists believe that there were never snakes in Ireland. There is no such record in the fossil records department. So it turns out that there will be snakes in Ireland at some point. The fact that there were no snakes in Ireland is also well-known that there used to be snakes but it became so cold day by day that the snake species became extinct and it is believed that snakes are not found here.
Do you know this
It is said of Ireland that if the ancestors of all the polar bears living on earth today were to be traced back to their ancestors, they would be the offspring of a brown female bear that lived in Ireland 50,000 years ago. Apart from this, the world's largest ship 'Titanic' which sank on April 14, 1912. The ship was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
