Researchers find flying snakes in Cambodia
A study in Cambodia has revealed the discovery of 11 new species of living organisms in the caves of the Battambang region, including a turquoise-colored snake, a bird snake, and various species of snail-like geckos and worms. This discovery was made during an expedition surveying 100 caves from November 2023 to July 2025. The findings highlight a unique biological diversity within these cave systems and the creatures adapted to their specialized environments. Some of the species are threatened, including rare animals and the long-tailed macaque. The researchers note that exploration of these areas is still in its early stages and that the destruction of karst regions could threaten the survival of many yet-to-be-documented species, emphasizing the need to improve legal protections for these sites.
