00:00What do you get when you pull a snake out of the belly of another snake?
00:04In this case, a new species.
00:10Not just a new species, but a new genus, which is like one step above a species.
00:14So it's really amazing.
00:15Snakes swallowing snakes is actually not that big a deal.
00:17They kind of do it all the time.
00:19But when people pulled the snake out of the belly of another snake,
00:23they realized that it was a snake that had never been described by scientists before.
00:28So that was a little weird.
00:30So this actually happened in 1976.
00:34And so for 40 years, scientists have actually been looking for a living example of this snake.
00:39Because the snake that they found, only example of its species, it was partly digested.
00:44Which is not ideal for describing a species.
00:46And you kind of want to have as many individuals as possible.
00:49So they went to the place in Mexico where the snake was found.
00:52They looked around.
00:53They looked around some more.
00:55They looked around for four decades and they didn't find any snakes.
00:59But the scientists decided, you know what?
01:01Let's just go with what we have.
01:03So what they did was they published a study describing this new species of snake.
01:07And because of how they found it inside the belly of another snake,
01:10they gave it a Latin name which translates into mysterious dinner.
01:14So that's the story of the mysterious dinner snake.
01:17So that's the story of the mysterious dinner snake.
01:21So what they found.
01:22Really one of the two witnesses go together.
01:23You can comment on that.
01:24Open archery.
01:26Alright, guys.
01:27We don't know.
01:28How old are they two сх acted in.
01:29What do they see these genetic plants?
01:30It's a large consciousness.
01:31And, with you know.
01:32And some inconsiderance, humans would really stand there.
01:34Let's consider humans of really whine.
01:35You know.
01:36Absolutely.
01:37And this time that we take a deep dive.
01:39It's a plant that really Å zas.
01:40Where we see they have 오ines so many discourses.
01:42And that theindingrovic Snows are really excellent from us.
01:46They have been pretty deutlich.
01:48But we can't really helps them reform.
