Slithering amongst shrubs in the foothill forests of Panama, there is a snake the color of scorched ashes, with round eyes like radiant coals. The snake, quickly to be called DiCaprio’s snail-eating snake (Sibon irmelindicaprioae), is among 5 newly found types residing in the jungles of Central and South America. In a brand-new research study, scientists explained the brand-new types and clarified how gold and copper mining operations in the area might threaten other spectacular snakes.
“These brand-new types of snake are simply the suggestion of the iceberg in regards to brand-new types discoveries in this area,” lead author Alejandro Arteaga (opens in brand-new tab), president and research study director at the Khamai Foundation, a conservation-focused nongovernmental organization, said in a statement (opens in brand-new tab). “But if prohibited mining continues at this rate, there might not be a chance to make any future discoveries.”
