Video von der Biologin Rosie Moore, die vom Daily Star als die schönste Wissenschaftlerin der Welt bezeichnet wird.  Zwei Wasserschlangen derselben Art und im selben Alter wurden nebeneinander auf einer Straße gefunden – doch sie zeigten beeindruckend unterschiedliche Erscheinungsformen. Ein tolles Beispiel dafür, dass ein dreieckiger Kopf nicht immer auf Giftigkeit hinweist.   Instagram: @rosiekmoore
