I literally cannot express to you how important it is to never touch a wild animal that you can’t definitively identify
(That is NOT a scarlet king it’s a venomous coral snake that very politely allowed this person to live)

💙 The Blue Malaysian Coral Snake (Calliophis bivirgatus), native to southeast Asia, can reach 5′11″ long. It’s semi-fossorial, being found in the leaf-litter of primary and secondary forests and, when threatened, they can erect their red tail as a warning message.

Brazilian peculiar fauna
As promised, my peculiar Brazilian fauna! I will explain what each animal is
Tumblr media
1 .Two-headed jaguar
Exactly similar to two-headed lynxes, these large cats inhabit forests and are aggressive. They are large animals and need help to survive as both heads need to eat equally for the animal to survive.
Tumblr media
2. Demon Piranhas
They are a dangerous and peculiar species of piranha, they have larger than normal teeth and horns, they are larger than common piranhas and they even devour alligators, it is an extremely dangerous animal.
3. Hummingbird with two tongues
This animal has a beak that opens much wider than that of a common hummingbird, it has two tongues that help it when eating. They eat much faster than a common hummingbird. These birds are naturally extremely fast and are peaceful.
Tumblr media
4. Pink dolphin - Holadeira
Photographed in 1995 by Jeremy Wade, this species of Amazonian dolphin is extremely rare to find. It has notches on its back that are very characteristic. Unlike normal pink dolphins, this animal is aggressive just like a piranha, it is recommended to stay very far away from this animal
5. Fire maned wolf
This large animal is peaceful, extremely cautious and does not pose any immediate danger. However, if cornered or in a situation of danger or a lot of stress, this animal's body will catch fire. Fire does not hurt it, it is used solely as defense, unfortunately this animal is often responsible for Forest fire
Tumblr media
6. Harpybara
This animal is a mix of a harpy and a capybara, harpybaras have the wings and tail of harpies and the body of a friendly and cute capybara, it is a peaceful and omnivorous animal. She swims very well, is terrestrial, and flies long distances, but prefers to stay on the ground and lie down under the shade of trees. They are the preferred animals as pets for ymbrynes, as they are completely harmless to children and are good companions.
Tumblr media
7. Peculiar Coral Snakes
Coral snakes are already naturally dangerous with their deadly venom, now imagine a coral snake that can swallow anything regardless of size. This is the peculiar ability of these snakes. In addition to the naturally dangerous venom, these snakes are born with a jaw that stretches infinitely and an elastic body. They can eat things infinitely bigger than themselves and go years without needing to eat again. Obviously they are extremely dangerous.
8. Indestructible armadillo
Of normal size to that of any common armadillo, the indestructible armadillo has the peculiarity of its impenetrable body, its shell is proof of everything, it cannot be broken, shot or burned. It's indestructible.
Tumblr media
Soon you met the ymbryne who rescues and shelters all these animals, Miss Tainá Urutau.

Fun fact: Coral snakes (a member of elapidae, meaning they're closely related to taipans/cobras/kraits etc) are actually very chill! They're SO chill, in fact, that it's rare for hospitals to have the proper antivenom in stock, because people don't tend to get bitten by them. As a general rule, try to be hesitant about handling what you think is some kind of coral mimic.
Also, the red/black/jack, red/yellow/kill-a-fellow rhyme only works in the US & northern mexico, generally speaking- elapids and mimics in Southern Mexico and beyond (M. diastema in Mexico, M. isozonus in Venezuela, etc) follow different patterns. Be aware of what venomous sp. look like in your area!
In any case, corals don't want to bite you. In fact, because you- presuming you are in fact a human and not a sentient mouse or frog that has learned to use the Internet- are so huge, no venomous snake wants to bite you, as you would be too large to fit in their stomach. Snakes bite when they feel threatened. Sometimes, this threatening is on accident (stuck hand in wrong place while hiking, picking up firewood, accidentally stuck foot somewhere, etc). However, a number of snake bites are because someone was being stupid and harassing the animal.
Just. Don't mess with snakes, y'all. They don't want to mess with you, either. I promise.
