Schlangen in Kambodscha: ein billiges Futter für die Krokodile

During the rainy season, when the forests along Cambodia's Tonlé Sap Lake are submerged, fishing families leave their floating villages. They set out in paddle boats to use drift nets to catch a coveted prey: water snakes that live in the flooded shores of Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake. Up to seven million snakes are caught here annually. This feeds the demand of local crocodile farms for cheap animal feed. Fisherman Van Voth stows a large cooler at the end of his boat and sets off into the Tonlé Sap River Delta. Together with his sister-in-law and their young daughters, he will spend several days searching the floodplains for the coveted water snakes.
