Micrurus dumerilii is a venomous coral snake from South America. It has a thin body with bright rings of red, black and yellow colors that warn other animals of danger.
Micrurus dumerilii differs from other coral snakes by the special order of colored rings. It helps maintain balance in the forest by eating other reptiles. Its venom is studied by scientists to create new medicines.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
