A Malagasy man, as citizens of Madagascar are known, tries to earn a few piastgres by swallowing snakes in Antananarivo, Madagascar Monday, Nov. 22, 2010. He first swallows the snakes and later pulls them out for reuse. There is great poverty in the island nation as the military has meddled in politics since Madagascar gained independence from France in 1960, and brought the country to economic ruin. About the only sources of income for the Malagasy are ecotourism, vanilla production and the recent discovery of oil. Maybe snake oil will help.
