After almost 30 years of not being spotted, scientists have found three new Berezowski's reed snakes, confirming the species' existence.
Researchers scouring the mountains of Sichuan Province in southern China finally captured a glimpse of an elusive and mysterious snake that many thought might not even exist at all. The snake, which is part of a species known as Berezowski’s reed snakes, hasn’t been seen for almost three decades. It was originally discovered in 1896 and was named for Michael Berezowski, a Russian zoologist who first captured the species in the 1890s.
Still, the spotting of not one but three of these elusive snakes is huge news for scientists. Because the species hasn’t been spotted reliably in so long, some scientists were starting to question the validity of the original claims from the 1890s about it existing at all. So, finding three of them in one place has not only helped confirm their existence, but it has given scientists even more specimens to research and study.
