Let's do Some Zoology!

I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too because this techically is a personal blog...

Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Barbados Threadsnake (Leptotyphlops carlae)

is a very small species of snake found only on the island of Barbados. This species is smallest species of snake currently known to science with an adult only growing to 4 in long. these snakes are very small so their diet is very limited, it is thought that they feed on termites and other small insects. Little is known about this species, and due the the loss of Barbados’s native forests their survival is a concern.
