| Subject: Thank the statists: Deadly Aesculapian Snakes On the Loose in London Sat May 10, 2014 8:18 pm | |
| More than 30 deadly Aesculapian snakes measuring up to 6ft 6in in length are on the loose in central London.
The rare snakes, which are classed as "of high concern" by the London Invasive Species Initiative (Lisi), were reportedly seen hiding on buildings and in trees near Regent's canal, and feasting on large rats and birds.
Aesculapian snakes are the third largest in Europe and are capable of killing small animals. Experts believe that one of the adult snakes could have the strength to kill a small dog, prompting fears among local residents that small children could be at risk.
The serpents are believed to be descended from ancestors that escaped from London Zoo or a nearby Inner London Education Authority building decades ago.
