A newly discovered species of green pit vipers has been given a very magical, and very apropos, name by team of researchers from India. In
the journal Zoosystematics and Evolution, the research team calls the species, which can be found throughout East and Southeast Asia, Trimeresurus Salazar - after Harry Potter-verse pure-blood wizard Salazar Slytherin. One of the four founders of Hogwarts -- along with Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Godric Gryffindor -- Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth (he could speak snake) and a Legilimens (mind reader). He was the noble founder of House Slytherin. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-harry-potter-characters&captions=true"] Trimeresurus Salazar, as one of the 48 species of this genus found in the region, is notable due to the orange-reddish stripe found on the side of the head in males. The researchers use "Salazar's pit viper" as a nickname. [caption id="attachment_234299" align="aligncenter" width="720"]
Salazar's Pit Viper from Zoosystematics and Evolution.[/caption] Speaking of the Potter-verse, Fantastic Beasts actor Dan Fogler said that the third installment of the prequel series will
feature some "epic battle scenes." The production on the third movie however, like every other movie and TV show shoot right now, has
been delayed due to the pandemic. This production halt is not Fantastic Beasts 3's first schedule setback. Filming was
postponed in 2019 after it was determined additional pre-production for the movie needed. That's when the movie's new
release date of November 12, 2021, was announced. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/09/harry-potter-the-open-world-rpg-made-in-minecraft"] [poilib element="accentDivider"]
