On September 26, 2007, the World Wildlife Fund for Nature reported that a new species of non-Snake_venomous snake, the white-lipped keelback, was identified in the region known as the "Green Corridor" of the Thua Thien Hue Province of Vietnam.
According to the press release, the snake "tends to live by streams where it catches frogs and other small animals. It has a beautiful yellow-white stripe that sweeps along its head and red dots cover its body. It can reach about 80 centimetres (31½ inches) in length."
