16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The beach guard
This very small snake is Bibilava lateralis. Her latin genus name "bibi-lava" literally means in Malagasy "animal-long", it's probably a wink ! Like all the others malagasy snakes this one is harmless to humans. He lives along the rivers.
