New species of blind snake found in Brazil

According to the British "Daily Mail" report, several  Brazilian dam engineers working on hydroelectric dam in Rondonia on the Madeira river connected to the Amazon, found six of this unique creature christened 'atretochoana eiselti'. The creature neither has eyes nor colorful scales like other snakes, and scientists believe it is closely related to salamanders and frogs family, and speculated that they might breathe through the skin. This rare creature has been rarely seen since it was discovered the first time in 1968.
