The two most dangerous snakes in Israel are: Vipers and Cobras (there are more than these two that are poisonous) also...you will die in 12/24 hours without treatment if you are bitten by a Palestine Viper. And in researching viper snake bites I found that Behring Vorderer/Mittlerer Orient Polyvalent Antivenom= the antidote is specific and is only available directly from the San Diego Zoo Reptile Department. A patient needs 15 vials of it. (Pic: Palestine Viper)What is geopolitics? How geography effects politics...or a force that both initiates and limits the nature and extent of political history.
What are the natural geographical borders of Israel? To the West...Mediterranean Sea/Sinai Peninsula, to the East...Syrian Desert, to the South...Golf of Eilat, to the North...the Fertile Cresent.
Israel is 290 miles long and 85 miles wide
What are the 4 countries that currently border Israel? Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt
3 largest ports? Haifa, Ashdod, and Eliat (I've been to Ashdod, but not the other two yet)
What is Israel's main water source? The Kinneret (or also known as the Sea of Galilee)
What is a halophyte? A salt-loving plant that grows near the Dead Sea
Number of species of Birds= 371, but there were not many living here in the past because all the trees were cut down and their were landsliding-swamp-type landscape that were malarial. But when trees we planted and grew back so did the birds. And actually 371 is a lot for the tiny size of Israel.
A Khamsin is a weather term that dry, hot, and dirty winds come from the desert area. When it rains after a Khamsin it literally looks like it's raining mud because of all the dirt particles in the air.
