The World Wide Fund for Nature has announced that scientists have discovered a snake that can change the skin color in the swamp of Indonesian kalimantan island. According to the statement of the World Wide Fund for Nature, changing skin color is very common in reptiles such as chameleons, but it is quite rare in snakes. Scientists can't explain this phenomenon at present. "I put this reddish-brown snake in a bucket without light," reptile expert Mark Olya said. "When I took it out a few minutes later, it almost turned white all over." Reptiles often change their skin color to disguise themselves and avoid predators, but it is not clear why this snake turns white all over.

last year, scientists found this .5-meter-long poisonous snake in the wetland near the Kapuas River in Indonesia's Badong Kerihong National Park. Scientists named it "Kapuas mud snake".

Biologists in Borneo have discovered a kind of snake that has never been known to the world before. It can change color like a chameleon.

This poisonous snake is about half a meter long and is found in the wetlands and swamp forests of Betung International Park, which Indonesia belongs to.

Betong International Park is located on a small island under the jurisdiction of Indonesia, Brunei and Malay Archipelago. When caught and put into a bag, it turned light reddish brown, but after a while it turned white. Obviously, this snake can automatically change its body color with the change of environment.

biologists named this poisonous snake Kapuas Mud, which can restore its original color after the river flows. Discovered chameleon snake in Sabah, kalimantan island, Malaysia. Professor Mark Olya, a reptile expert from Germany's Koenig Zoo, who led a scientific investigation in Malaysia's virgin forest, said: "A bright reddish-brown snake caught our attention. Only a few minutes after it was caught and put into a special basket, its trunk immediately turned pure white. This snake with chameleon's unique ability to change its body color according to its environment is completely unknown to the world. Modern science only knows that individual species can change color, and this reptile found in the virgin forest of kalimantan island will be a useful supplement to the knowledge treasure house of zoologists. " Professor Olea pointed out that this unique chameleon snake is one of the "Kapuas mud snakes" named after its discovery. It is poisonous and mainly brought out of the swamp. It is 5 cm long, and its habitat is limited to the coastal area of Kapuas River. No similar chameleon snakes have been found in other areas.
