#bungarus oxyi

[reptilemanaustralia]

China gets a newly discovered species of snake! OK, it is a crocodile in this pic, but on 25 May 2023, China got a new species of snake. A dangerously venomous species of Krait no less. Formerly treated as a western population of Baungarus fasciatus, the west Chinese specimens from around Yunan turned out to be a completely different species.

Snakeman Raymond Hoser published a major scientific paper describing three new species, one from the Mekong river drainage, another from the central Thailand plain and a third from northern Borneo. Download a pdf of the paper at: http://www.smuggled.com/AJH-I62-Split.htm
