Britain Has A Second Venomous Snake!

Britain may have a second venomous snake and it’s been here all along! The adder is usually described as Britain’s only venomous snake. But a recent scientific paper is challenging that understanding, suggesting the smooth snake could deserve a place alongside it. In this video, I explore the research behind this surprising claim, what it tells us about the smooth snake’s teeth and venom system, and the important question: does being venomous mean it’s dangerous to people? Read the research: “Reclassification of the smooth snake. Analysis of the rear fangs, venom system, and the cephalic anatomy of Coronella austriaca” https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/z...
