New viper snake species found
A new species of brightly coloured snake has been found in a remote area of Tanzania in East Africa.
The striking black-and-yellow snake measures 60 cm (2.1 ft) and has horn-like scales above its eyes.
The newly discovered snake, named Matilda’s horned viper, has been described in the journal Zootaxa.
The exact location of the new species is being kept a secret, because it could be of interest to the illegal pet trade.
