The discovery of a venomous snake in China can make a person disabled!

A new species of snake has been discovered in China, whose venom is so strong that it can cripple people.

The Gloydius lateralis snake was discovered in the Zaru Valley in the Jiuzhaigou National Reserve, a World Heritage Site in the Chinese province of Sichuan.

Researchers say it feeds on small mammals such as mice and is “active on sunny days on the side of a road in a hot, dry valley.”

This species had a small body of about 18 inches, large eyes, and dark green or brown skin with four rows of dark brown zigzag spots.

There is a continuous gray-brown stripe on each side of the snake’s body and tail, which is why it is called “lateral” (in relation to “lateral”).

When asked if the snake poses a threat to humans, Dr. Qingxiao Xi emphasized the effectiveness of its venom. And I don’t think his sting is light. This is accompanied by severe pain and can lead to disability if not treated in time.

Experts were conducting research in the Jiuzhaigou National Nature Reserve when they collected several specimens of glooidius, a genus of venomous vipers endemic to Asia, in the Zaro Valley.

After conducting morphological and evolutionary analyzes, scientists found that these specimens actually belonged to an as yet undescribed species.

New study published in scientific journal zookeys.
