Dangerous snakes from Australia can become even more poisonous?

The wildlife expert from the Australian state of Victoria studied theories that poisonous Australian snakes could become even more deadly.

Nick Petropoulos recently posted a video on YouTube in response to information that venomous Australian snakes, such as brown snake, taipans and red-bellied black snake, in the case of harmless python-mongrel breeding, can produce "hybrids" reports the Daily Mail.

"It is known that hybrids of reptiles occur in captivity among many species, although in most cases among species of the same genus," he says.

According to Petropoulos, poisonous snakes and pythons are as close as dogs and sea lions and ferrets, that is, they are taxonomically separated.

"Because of these levels of separation, hybrid animals between the two species are unheard of," he said.

"Humans are closer to monkeys than the pythons of poisonous snakes," he said. It also insists on denying those who say that hybrid snakes exist, as this is not genetically possible.

"Do not believe what others tell you. People in rural areas believe that because that's what their parents and grandmothers said," he said.
