World's Newest Snake Species - Discovered in Tanzania

[kimatire]

The world's newest snake species has menacing-looking yellow and black scales, dull green eyes and two spiky horns – and it's named after a seven-year-old girl.

Matilda's horned viper was discovered in a small patch of south-west Tanzania about two years ago. In December, it was introduced as the world's newest known snake species in an issue of the Zootaxa journal.

This striking black-and-yellow snake is called Matilda's horned viper, can grow to 65cm and has horn-like scales above its eyes.
