BOFFINS in Brazil have discovered a new type of snake — which resembles a penis (well you knew that from the picture right). Experts came across the Atretochoana eiselti as they examined a hydroelectric dam on a river in the Amazon. Six of the eyeless creatures — actually a family of “blind snake” more closely related to the salamander — were found living at the bottom of the Madeira River in Brazil’s northern state of Rondonia.
