caption: The image shows a drawing of a snake on a piece of paper, which is believed to be from the British Museum of Natural History. The snake is depicted in great detail, with its scales, eyes, and tongue clearly visible. Its head is slightly raised, and its tongue is flicking out as if tasting the air. Its body is a dark brown color, with lighter brown stripes running along its sides. Its eyes are a bright yellow, and it has a long, pointed snout.
