Snake species in the hit "Look What You Made Me Do" also have spikes.

1. This is an extremely "rare hard to find" snake

Horny snake scales - or snake Atheris hispida often reside in the rainforest of Central Africa.

Looking far away from these pointed scales, they look like feathers, so sometimes people call them snakes but when you get close, you will be totally surprised by their bizarre looks.

Horned snake scales often hide very carefully, avoiding people, so almost no material about this animal yet.

Pointed scales on the body overlap each other like tile roofs. Remember, most snakes often have slippery skin, but Atheris hispida is "extremely unique" by its horny scalp.

Not only that, the scientific community only discovered this snake Atheris hispida about 30 years ago. They often hide very carefully, avoid people, so most documents about this animal are not much.

2. Although small but possessing horrifying venom

The horny scales are only about 75cm long on average, possessing long fangs. Compared to other snakes, Atheris hispida snakes have a "small" appearance but possess horrifying venom.

Big eyes also contribute to the aggressive look of horny scales.

The venom of this snake makes the victim's blood free. The bite after each bite of the snake will be swollen, sore and can cause immediate death to an adult if it is not received in time.

Researchers at the University of Adelaide's clinical toxicity said, when a snake's venom drops into the bloodstream, they cause blood circulation in the body to be disordered.

Snake venom also causes acute kidney failure, eyelid swelling, difficulty speaking, the whole body becomes weak, easy to die.

3. Escape hidden escape, immeasurable transformation

Horny squid snakes live mainly on trees.

Not only does it possess strange scales, this snake also has the ability to change body color to mingle with the surroundings as they evade enemies or deceive prey.

In addition, keratinous snakes live mainly on trees, and have a preference for hiding in the foliage in wet areas. When the "rays" are prey, they will approach and defeat the bait with just one bite.
