Scientists have stumbled upon a previously undiscovered species of venomous snake, but warned it could already be at risk of extinction.
The new subspecies of bandy-bandy, a family of burrowing snakes endemic to Australia, was found by chance by biologists from the University of Queensland, who have quickly applied for it to be given protected status.
When the
Zombie Apocalypse occurs, and it will, keep in mind that
all snakes are edible. Survival Mastery (including directions how to clean and cook snake. Hey, you'll be thanking me for this during the ZApocalypse):
The health benefits provided from snake meat far outweighs those of red meats and the good news is that they’re nearly all edible.
[.]
Even after decapitation, the head is able to see and sense you and will lash out and bite if you get too close. It can take well over an hour for the snake to die fully.
Some people report being bitten by a decapitated head several hours after killing the snake. They’re still every bit as deadly as well.
