Chameleon snake just discovered and already threatened?

Posted by Jason Triplett Wednesday, June 28, 2006

Why is there an animal story on this entertainment website? Well I am an animal lover and activist in my personal life, so you better believe I am going to share stories I feel to be important on this matter. Our species has been especially cruel to animal kind, so if there is anything I can do to help those without a voice, I am gonna do it.

Anyways, on to the story. Scientists with the World Wildlife Foundation (yes the guys that sued Vince McMahon over the WWF name) recently discovered a new species of snake on the island of Borneo. Now this isn't uncommon, as Borneo is home to a lot of newly discovered species. However, what makes this snake unusual is it's ability to change colors on the fly. It is the only snake known to have this ability.

Even though this snake was just discovered, WWF reports that it's habitat is already threatened by the rapid deforestation of Borneo. For more on this story, check the links below.
