The mangrove snake is a tree snake with a black body and bright golden-yellow rings. It lives in trees in tropical forests and mangrove thickets of Southeast Asia and hunts at night.
The mangrove snake differs from other tree snakes by its bright ringed coloration and large eyes. It helps maintain balance in nature by hunting small animals.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
