Press Release Summary: Africapic.com is a photography library in South Africa that
specializes in wildlife and African images. They have made their pictures available
for free for web use. They have recently received the contributions of a snake
specialist who has added some of the most incredible snake pictures. There are some
extremely rare and dangerous snakes in their snake pictures collection.

Press Release Body: Based in South Africa Africapic.com is a fairly unique stock
library, in that they offer users the ability to use their images for free on the
web. Users are required to copy certain code and the images will then display
wherever the code is placed. They have developed some advanced technology,
integrated into the pixels of the image that keeps track of where their images are
being used, and ensures that users do not alter the code supplied.

They have a large collection of African images, with a predominant focus on wildlife
and South Africa. Their collections are growing at a rapid rate. In particular they
have an exceptional gallery of snake pictures. It is apparent that they keep their
image standard high, and this snake gallery is no exception.

Their collection of puff adder snake pictures is fascinating. These snakes cause
more fatal snakebites than any other snake in the world. They can strike backwards,
and are extremely camouflaged. They also do not move out of the way. Their favourite
place to lie is in a sandy path. Beware of these snakes when you visit Africa. To
see what one of these adders looks like have a look at these snake pictures

They also have a great few photos of black mambas. Many deem this to be the most
deadly snake in the world. They are neurotoxic (which causes your breathing to
stop), are 4m+ in length, extremely aggressive and extremely fast. Depending on
where you are bitten, you have about 45mins to get anti-venom, or you start pushing
up daisies. To have a look at some of these monsters have a look at these snake
pictures http://www.africapic.com/pictures_of_snakes_spiders_reptiles.html.
