Chameleon Snake Discovered in Indonesia

As if God's creation didn't impress me enough already, researchers scouring swamps in the heart of Borneo island have discovered a venomous species of snake that can change its skin color. The 1.6-foot-long snake was discovered in wetlands and swamp forests around the Kapuas River in the Betung Kerihun National Park in the Indonesian part of Borneo island. Scientists speculate it might only occur in the Kapuas River drainage system. The WWF, the international group formerly known as World Wildlife Fund, said 361 animal and plant species have been discovered since 1996 on Borneo, underscoring its unparalleled biological diversity. This is just another reason to be careful how we manage our environmental resources in the future. If you love the Creator, take care of creation.
