Snake
: "Herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt. In 1957 Schmidt was examining a Snake that he initially hesitated to identify, he believed it was a Boomslang apart from one inconsistency: its anal plate was undivided, a trait typically not seen in Boomslangs. He was bitten and went on to record his own death."
