Snakes Change Color to Kill You More Easily
Topic: Weird Shit

Borneo is perhaps one of the most highly inhabited places on the planet for rare, new and interesting species, including the giant Anacondas from Anacondas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid, which appear to have traveled from South America, their native land, across the Pacific Ocean and then up into Borneo just to mate (they're like salmon! - ed.).

And speaking of Borneo, snakes and shit that we have trouble believing in, scientists have found a new species of poisonous snake that can change color easily, making it even more simple for them to bite you while you're using a latrine.

"I put the reddish-brown snake in a dark bucket," said Mark Auliya, a reptile expert and a consultant for the group. "When I retrieved it a few minutes later, it was almost entirely white."


So now let's take a look at what animals can kill you even more easily lately: the Polar Grizzly Bear, the Borneo Chameleon Snake, the Florida Alligators, and the rare Heavily Armed North American Hedgehog.
