Hi All,

Please check out: Newly Discovered Black and Yellow Bush Viper

“A remote, mountainous forest in southwestern Tanzania is the only place where Matilda’s Horned Viper (Atheris matildae) resides. Described as a new species in the December, 2011 issue of Zootaxa, the boldly-colored, arboreal snake seems limited to 100 square miles of somewhat degraded habitat.”

Already endangered...

It's like making friends with a terminally ill cancer patient.
