Four new fossil snakes have been found, all from the Jurassic, pushing back the origins of snakes. The new named species are Eophis underwoodi, Portugalophis lignites, Diablophis gilmorei, and Parviraptor estesi.

Remember when we talked about the issues with prehistoric snakes lke Titanboa not looking prehistoric? Won't be an issue with these!
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no
