A new species of bandy-bandy snake has been discovered in the Weipa region at the tip of Queensland's Cape York Peninsula.
Known as Vermicella parscauda the new species was discovered by researchers from the University of Queensland, who stumbled across the first specimen after an unrelated research expedition.
"This one was actually just by complete fluke, we were out doing sea snake research and when we came into the dock that night, there at the end of the pier was a little bandy-bandy," lead researcher associate professor Bryan Fry told BuzzFeed News.
"We were like, 'What are you doing here? You're a burrowing snake, you're not supposed to be on a fishing dock!'"

What's wrong with me?

Ouch, no more from me.
