(Reuters) - Biologists working in the forests of Borneo have found a previously unknown type of snake which can change its colour spontaneously like a chameleon.

The poisonous snake, about half a metre (half a yard) long, was discovered in the wetlands and swamp forests of Betung National Park in the Indonesian part of the island, which is also shared by Malaysia and Brunei.

When picked up and put in a bucket, it was reddish-brown but later changed its colour to white, apparently in an automatic reaction to blend in with surroundings, according to the WWF.
