Scientists stumbled upon a horrifying new poisonous snake that only lives in Australia

Scientists on the way to explore unknowingly stepped on a snake and since then discovered an entire new snake strain that has never been seen.

Bryan Fry , a scientist from the University of Queensland, while looking for and studying sea snakes in Weipa, North Queensland, accidentally discovered a new kind of poisonous snake that has never been seen.

This new snake species is named "Bandy-Bandy". Due to the hidden nature of the cave, Australian scientists were surprised to encounter it in an area near the sea. When conducting experiments, bandy-bandy snakes were discovered to be a completely new species both in appearance and gene structure, far from all the snakes found on the eastern coast of Australia.

The strange snake was found accidentally in the north coast of Queensland.

Bandy-bandy snakes are nocturnal and underground. Solid body is black and white. They often hide under rocks and tree stumps, in particular, this is the only living creature in Australia.

A professional snake hunter in Queensland, Brydie Maro interviewed the Daily Mail that the hunt for this animal can be deadly because its toxin is worse than the red belly snake, a poisonous snake in Australia. . This snake causes horribly swollen bites and gradually leads to complete paralysis.

Bandy-bandy is a unique snake in both appearance and gene structure.

Currently, Australian scientists have only captured 5 solid bandy-bandy individuals, of which 2 were accidentally found during their business trip in Weipa, one was killed by the car. This also raises concerns about bauxite metal mining activities in this coastal area that could cause extinction for this snake in particular and other organisms in general.

Professor Bryan Fry accidentally discovered this rare snake on his way to explore.

Not only that, scientists also believe that the special venom of this new snake could be a valuable source of raw materials for drug production."All species are worthy of protection because we always need to study new remedies," said Professor Fry. "The discovery of this rare snake shows that biodiversity is an area in which we know very little, so preserve it before it disappears."
