Know about Wolf Snake:
The common name of the snake has been given as Wolf Snake.
This new species was earlier overlooked by scientists and herpetologists as a young specimen of twin spotted wolf snake (Lycodon jara). The species is not just endemic to Odisha, but has been sighted elsewhere.
Not So Harmful – Though these snakes do inject venom when they bite, this venom is relatively mild. Even when they do bite humans, the impact is usually not harmful. Most bites result in pain and swelling, and do not result in any serious harm.
Square Snout – This snake’s oddly shaped snout is actually quite useful. The flattened surface works much like a shovel, and helps them dig and burrow beneath the ground. This helps them reach buried prey and escape from potential predators.
Mouse-less Diet – While most snakes feed on small rodents if they are large enough, this species usually sticks to reptiles and amphibians. In fact, when kept in human care it can be quite difficult to get them to eat because they do not feed on mammals.
