New species of Boa found on remote island in the Bahamas.

Chilabothrus argentum

"The entire silver boa population, which the team estimates to be fewer than a thousand animals, is found only in one small patch of Earth."

The good news is the island where they are found is a national parkland with very few human visiters.
