Meghalaya, the land of the mythical evil spirit that takes the form of a giant serpent called U Thlen, has yielded a new-to-science, venomous green snake.
About:
Recorded simultaneously in Mizoram, the snake has been named Maya’s pit viper after the deceased mother of an Army officer, one of seven authors of a study on it.
The name of the pit viper is recognised as Trimeresurus mayaae.
The new species was relatively common in Meghalaya, Mizoram and even in Guwahati (Assam).
