Does it look like a branch? Or could it be a vine? It’s best to be sure before you grab it!
Here are some of the strange animals you’ll find in the mangrove forests of Southeast Asia: the proboscis monkey, the mudskipper and the Malayan tapir.
How can you distinguish between snakes and legless lizards? Look for eyelids.
Rear-fanged snakes, the colubrids, either have very weak venom or none at all.
Video: When this frog gets grabbed by a vine snake, the frog puffs up to seem bigger. But a frog should never underestimate what a snake can swallow!
Advice: Do you plan to prowl through mangrove swamps in Indonesia? No? Well, then you’re safe from the mangrove snake.
Next: If you were bitten by a mangrove snake, it would hurt, but your life would not be in danger. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of a bite from the deadly black mamba.
