How many species we are losing during the current 6th big mass extinction event we don't know. Just because we haven't documented all species yet. But now and again a new species is discovered and can be added to the tally. This is the case with this beautiful green pit-viper, which was thought to be a common snake, but was actually an undocumented species.

A philosopher's serpent: New grass-green pitviper discovered in China's Giant Panda National Park

Draped in a uniform coat of vibrant grass-green and possessing eyes that shimmer like amber, a newly discovered pitviper is the latest hidden jewel to be found in the misty mountains of western Sichuan, China.

Yep, it’s that time of year…the fall cold fronts have triggered the snakes to head for hibernacula staging areas, and that sometimes means prairie rattlesnakes that have gone unnoticed all summer have traversed through yards and been at higher risk of encountering people. Not their fault and they’re not interested in staying there, but does mean the people wise enough to ask for help and not try and take risky chances doing obscene acts to the wildlife are calling me a little more frequently. This young male was very fired up but as usual avoidied trying to to bite despite the display, and is now hopefully well away from the houses while still in the territory he’s familiar with.

I created this Viper mascot for Turquoise Health's Design System, Pit Viper. I supplied a few versions including full body, and just the face/goggles for use as a smaller symbol, both with and without the Viper's tongue showing. The Turquoise Health's logo is shown on the arm of the Goggles.
