Scientists claim to have discovered a new species of poisonous snake with the ability to change colour.
During an expedition to the Indonesian part of Borneo by conservation group WWF in 2004, researchers stumbled across the snake.
However, WWF expedition coordinator Stuart Chapman said German researcher Mark Auliya, who discovered the reptile, was only able to confirm it as a new species this month.
Dr Auliya knew the half-metre long reptile, now named the Kapuas mud snake, was unusual when it changed from reddish-brown to white within a matter of minutes.
