Tiger Snake Breaks Record For Biggest Venom Yield. A Tiger snake has set a new world record for the largest venom yield ever collected in a single session. During a collection at the Australian Reptile Park, Tony the Tiger snake produced an astonishing 123 milligrams of venom. This is over double the average venom yield for the species, highlighting its potency. The park's venom program produces antivenom that saves thousands of lives annually. “Tony is unpredictable, and his latest yield is truly remarkable,” says Park Manager Billy Collett. The Australian Reptile Park is the only facility milking Tiger snakes for antivenom. Over 2,000 snake bites occur in Australia each year; 300+ people are saved by antivenom. Venom is extracted by encouraging snakes to bite into a plastic-covered shot glass. The park's mission: saving lives, educating the public, and preserving ecological balance.

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Friday Dr. Anthony Fauci, a former top health official who has faced threats since leading the country's COVID-19 response, should hire his own security, the latest former U.S. official to have their protection cut off since Trump took office this week. Sources familiar with the situation confirmed that federal security protection had been canceled for Fauci, a top infectious disease official whose efforts to fight the pandemic were applauded by many public health experts even as he was vilified by Trump and many other Republicans. Trump ended federal protection for at least three other former top officials who served during his first administration since he took office for the second time on Monday.
