René Léon Bourret
René Léon Bourret (28 January 1884, Nérac, (Lot-et-Garonne) – 28 July 1957) was a French herpetologist and geologist. In 1900, he arrived in French Indochina as a member of the military. Beginning in 1907, he worked as a surveyor for the "cadastral survey". From 1919 to 1925, he performed geological surveys in Indochina, becoming a professor in 1925 at the ''École Supérieure des Sciences'', ''Université Indochinoise'' in Hanoi. Two years later, he released his first zoological publication, a general review on vertebrates native to Indochina. During the ensuing years, he published three major works on herpetofauna native to Indochina: monographs on snakes (1936), chelonians (1941), and amphibians (1942). During the Japanese occupation of Indochina, he remained in Hanoi, where he continued regular publications. In 1947, he returned to France and settled in Toulouse. Most of his specimens are preserved in museums in Toulouse and Paris. These herpetological species/subspecies ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chrysopelea
''Chrysopelea'', more commonly known as the flying snake or gliding snake is a genus that belongs to the family Colubridae. Flying snakes are mildly venomous, though the venom is dangerous only to their small prey. Their range is in Southeast Asia (the mainland (Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos), Greater and Lesser Sundas, Maluku, and the Philippines), southernmost China, India, and Sri Lanka.De Rooij, N. (1915).The reptiles of the Indo-Australian archipelago Leiden: E.J. Brill. Accessed 2009-07-14. Gliding ''Chrysopelea'' is also known by its common name "flying snake". It climbs using ridge scales along its belly, pushing against the rough bark of tree trunks, allowing it to move vertically up a tree. Upon reaching the end of a branch, the snake continues moving until its tail dangles from the end of the branch. It then makes a J-shape bend, leans forward to select the level of inclination it wishes to use to control its glide path, as well as selecting a desired landin ...

Proahaetulla
''Proahaetulla'' is a monotypic genus of snake in the family Colubridae. It contains only one species, the keeled vine snake (''P. antiqua''), which is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. Its natural habitat is montane rainforests of southern Western Ghats. The species was first discovered in 2011, when an individual was found in the Agasthyamalai Hills of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It was initially thought to be a new species of ''Ahaetulla'', as it looked very similar to the species '' A. dispar''. However, genetic analyses found it to be deeply divergent from any member in the genus ''Ahaetulla'', so it was classified in its own genus. Both the genus and species were ultimately described in 2019. Taxonomy It is considered to be the sister taxon to the genus '' Ahetulla'', which it diverged from during the mid-Oligocene. Due to its age, ''Proahaetulla'' may be one of the oldest monotypic lineages of snakes to still persist in the Western Ghats. The study that described ''Pro ...
