In Myanmar, Dr. Chan Kin Onn found the Ayeyarwady pit viper. Some of these snakes are green. Some have dark spots. At first, scientists were confused. Then they checked the DNA. The DNA showed it is a new species. These snakes live near the Ayeyarwady River. In China, scientists found the Huaxi Green Pitviper. For a long time, people thought it was a different snake. Now they know it is new. The males have red and white stripes. The females have yellow stripes. These snakes live on mountains. They are poisonous. They can bite people.
