New snake species changes color

The jungles of Borneo - home of an astonishing 361 animal and plant species discoveries in the last 10 years - have yielded up a half-meter-long, venomous snake that can change color from reddish-brown to almost white. The Kapuas Mud Snake, according to WWF researcher Bambang Supriyanto, is "one of nature's best-kept secrets. Its ability to change color has kept it hidden from science until now."
