New to Science

This spectacular snake is relatively new to science. Described only a few years ago, the Pygmy King Brown Snake Pseudechis weigeli is found in rocky areas in northern Australia. It is superficially similar to the King Brown Snake Pseudechis australis but differs having maximum size of only 4ft (King browns are much larger), a finer, thinner head and undivided sub-caudal scales.

Although no fatalities have been recorded from this species they should be treated with extreme caution.
