SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A U.S. scientist said Sunday he has discovered the globe’s tiniest species of snake in the easternmost Caribbean island of Barbados, with full-grown adults typically stretching less than 4 inches long. S. Blair Hedges, an evolutionary biologist at Penn State University, said the snake was found slithering beneath a rock near a forest. It apparently eats termites and insect larvae, but nothing is yet known of its ecology and behavior. It is not venomous. It will be introduced to the scientific world in the journal Zootaxa today.
