Scientists discover new species of 'blind snake' in Brazilian river that looks remarkably like...

Forgive us if this puts you off your dinner because, as snakes go, this is not much of a charmer.

The unique creature, atretochoana eiselti, was found after engineers drained a hydroelectric dam which spans a river connected to the Amazon.

Biologists discovered six of the unusual-looking creatures - each about a metre long - at the bottom of the river-bed on the Madeira river in Rondonia, in Brazil.

Say "ah"


A no-eyed you-better-hope-it's-not-in-your-trouser snake.

5. Not even close! Oh, here's another.

I'm beginning to admire the humble Tapir and how resourceful it can be when it needs to scratch it's head or belly, places it cannot reach by hoof.
