Amid COVID-19 and Locusts Attack, Flying Snakes Are Now Ruling Social Media: Read Why? 

The word snake itself brings fear in ones soul. Also, snakes have never been the most liked creature by all. They are slimy, slithery and mostly venomous which makes it more dangerous and a must avoid reptile. 

In case you weren't aware of, there is actually something called flying snakes in the world. Yes, you heard it right! As per New York Post report, there are known as paradise tree snake that can jump super-long distances in the sky.

This Southeast Asian snake can launch its 3-foot-long body at a speed of 40 kmph from a tree. Soon after taking a leap in the sky, the snake undulates its body in the air - that apparently enables them in gliding. 

Researchers have been studying these snakes for a while now and trying to understand how they do what they do. Ever since a recent photo went viral, reactions on social media went berserk. 

Nitizens also thanked 2020, for a new fear now! Check out few of the post below:
