A new, non-venomous wolf snake species, Lycodon irwini, named after Steve Irwin, has been discovered on Great Nicobar Island. The glossy black snake grows to a meter but its habitat appears restricted, making it potentially vulnerable. Researchers highlight this discovery as evidence of the region’s remaining unexplored biodiversity. The finding emphasizes the need for conservation efforts in light of the species’ limited range.
