TRIBUNLAMPUNG.CO.ID – Have you ever imagined a flying snake?
So far, snakes are known as reptiles. But who would have thought that there is one type of reptile that has the ability to ‘fly’.
The name of this animal is Chrysopelea. The discussion of what Chrysopelea is is still very minimal.
It’s just that according to Fact Animal, Chrysopelea belongs to the Colubridae family, which is the largest family of snakes.
In fact, at least 51% or more of the 1000 species of snakes living in the world belong to the Colubridae family.
If all this time squirrels are considered animals that are good at moving from one tree branch to another, the gliding ability of Chrysopelea or this flying snake is much better than squirrels.
Quoted from Fact Animal, there are five species of flying snakes that have this unique ability.
Among them are golden tree snakes, paradise flying snakes, red flying snakes, Maluku flying snakes, and Sri Lanka flying snakes.
The habitats of the five animals are spread across several parts of Asia, from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, China, India, Sri Lanka to Indonesia.
Chrysopelea colors also vary. Some are green, black or dark gray.
