卡迈基金会的科学家在哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔的丛林和云林中发现了五种新的睫毛毒蛇。 Scientists from the Khamai Foundation have discovered five new species of eyelash vipers in the jungles and cloud forests of Colombia and Ecuador. 研究人员花了十年时间研究这些蛇，此前将它们归类为从墨西哥到秘鲁西北部的单一、高度可变物种的一部分。 The researchers, who spent a decade studying the snakes, previously classified them as part of a single, highly variable species spanning from Mexico to northwestern Peru. 睫毛毒蛇之所以引人注目，是因为它们眼睛上方有独特的刺状鳞片，而且它们是多色的，表现出一系列的颜色变化。 The eyelash vipers stand out due to their distinctive spine-like scales above their eyes, and they are polychromatic, exhibiting a range of color variations. 其中 4 个新物种面临灭绝的高风险，其 50-80% 的栖息地已被破坏。 Four of the new species are at high risk of extinction, with 50-80% of their habitat already destroyed.
