TO GO WITH AFP STORY Closeup taken on Fe

TO GO WITH AFP STORY Closeup taken on February 13, 2008 of the open jaw and fangs of a serpent known as "Jararacussu" (Bothrops jararacussu) while university students of biology have a serpent anatomy class in a laboratory of the Butantan Institute, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This 100-year-old government-funded facility, the Butantan Institute, on the edge of the sprawling University of Sao Paulo campus, counts the biggest collection of serpents in the world. Near 75,000 are coiled lifeless into alcohol-filled jars in a vast storage room, a repertoire of biological information on South American serpents.
