You must have heard from the village and elders that snakes and cobras remain wrapped around sandalwood trees. Actually all those people believed that snake needs coolness and it is found on sandalwood tree. But today we will tell you what is the truth behind it.
sandalwood tree
Do snakes and cobras really live on sandalwood trees? Regarding this, a media organization has talked to Professor Vijay Malik, Head of the Department of Botany running in the Chaudhary Charan Singh University campus. Vijay Malik is known as an expert on trees and plants in India. Professor Vijay Malik said that if we talk about tree species, sandalwood tree is considered very useful.
Vijay Malik said that you will see its production in Karnataka, Maharashtra and other states. Whereas in western Uttar Pradesh, sandalwood tree is planted as a plant. He told about the secret of sandalwood, the way in which all the trees and plants themselves arrange water and food. Unlike them, the sandalwood tree depends on other trees. It absorbs food in water through other trees.
Do snakes live on sandalwood trees?
Professor Vijay Malik said that if scientifically it is said that snakes remain wrapped around the sandalwood tree. In fact, no scientific evidence for this has been found yet. The sandalwood tree is known only for the sandalwood obtained from it. This is not a tree that particularly attracts snakes at all. He said that snakes are attracted towards those places where they can get food, water, shelter and suitable temperature conditions. For example, snakes would prefer to live where they can find prey, have a place to hide and have suitable temperatures. However, snakes can inhabit areas with sandalwood trees.
