Rediscovered species of snake named the Selangor mud snake found in The Phillippines. It was last seen in 1914.

Rare Selangor mud snake rediscovered in Singapore after 106 years

The species was "rediscovered" in Singapore, not the Philippines, but the "rediscovery" was only in terms of Singapore where it had only been recorded once previously. The species is otherwise found in (probably throughout) Peninsular Malaysia, being recorded from the states of Perak, Selangor and Pahang.

Very interesting if true! Hopefully we can get some pictures.

I do wonder how quickly it will be before the Voeltzkow's chameleon ends up in the illegal wildlife trade to be sold to collectors.

This one might never make it due to their extremely short lifespan.

Do collectors have an extremely short lifespan?

 

[Tetzoo Quizzer]

Only when located by irate conservationists!

[Onychorhynchus coronatus]

Hopefully so, but somehow I dont think that would be a deterrent to some of the more hardcore collectors out there who are typically of a pathologically obssessional bent.

Do collectors have an extremely short lifespan?

I certainly wish they did but unfortunately not

Only when located by irate conservationists!

LOL ,if they could be located then I'm sure many of them may experience a reduced lifespan and particularly the herp and bird collectors but sadly they are usually very well hidden and often very well protected too.
