The cottonmouth will generally curl into a strike position and gape open its jaws, thereby showing the reason they are called cottonmouths. The two large fangs that are hinged back when the snake closes its mouth are sometimes visible as well. If you are close enough to note the fangs, then you are way too close.
A eunuch is a castrated human male. The castration can be only of the testes, or also include the penis, known as a penectomy (often with a tube inserted to keep the urethra open, called a urethral rerouting). The practice was established before 700 BC and accounts of eunuchs are known throughout history.
Word History: Eunuch goes back to the Greek word eunoukhos, a castrated male employed to serve the women in the women's quarters of a household and to act as chamberlain, and the Greek word is derived from eunÄ, bed, and ekhein, to hold, to keep.. A eunuch is a bed-keeper, so to speak. To avoid suspicion about the parentage of their children, upper-class men in many ancient societies would post eunuchs to guard and serve in the bedchambers of the women of their households.
