From an early age I found so much joy in the weird and wonderful creatures around me, from the frequent visits of Antechinus marsupials to the bandy-bandy snakes, goannas in the garden, and possums in the trees.

A group of biologists accidentally made a terrifying find in Australia over the summer — a new species of the venomous bandy-bandy snake.

“Bandy-bandy is a burrowing snake, so Freek Vonk from the Naturalis Museum and I were surprised to find it on a concrete block by the sea,” Bryan Fry, a professor leading the research mission, told the Independent.

Among the missing: three Egyptian cobras whose bite is usually fatal, one deadly poisonous Bandy-Bandy and two mildly poisonous sand snakes.

The Bandy-Bandy had completely disappeared.
