A New Dwarf Boa Species Was Dicovered in Amazon Area
Scientists discover new species of dwarf boa (Tropidophis cacuangoae) in Ecuadorian Amazon.
Two specimens were found in the Colonso Chalupas national reserve and in the private Sumak Kawsay park, the discoverers reported.
Up to 20-centimetres long and with skin colourings similar to those of the boa constrictor, the previously unknown snake has been named Tropidophis cacuangoae. The second part of the name honours early-20th-century Indigenous rights activist Dolores Cacuango, according to Ecuador’s environment ministry.
