The **Chrysopelea paradisi**, commonly known as the paradise tree snake, is a species that can change the shape of its body to leap from high branches and glide through the air for many meters. This ability allows it to move efficiently between trees in its native habitats, which are typically tropical or subtropical forests. The **National Geographic Photo Ark** is a long-term photographic project aimed at documenting the diversity of the world’s wildlife, often focusing on species in captivity or in the wild. The project has captured images of numerous snake species, offering a glimpse into their unique appearances and the environments they inhabit. Among the snakes featured in the **Photo Ark** is the red bamboo snake, or Oreocryptophis porphyraceus vaillantii, which was photographed from a private collection. Other species included in the project are the horned viper (Bitis cornuta), the eastern tree snake (Ahaetulla prasina) at the Singapore Zoo, and the Bismarck Archipelago boa (Bothrochilus boa), which is found only in Papua New Guinea. The project also showcases the European horned viper (Vipera ammodytes ammodytes) at the Saint Louis Zoo and the mountain red snake (Oreocryptophis porphyraceus coxi) at the Miller Park Zoo. Additional images include the bongare candidus (Bungarus candidus) at the Sedgwick County Zoo, two leaf-nosed snakes (Langaha madagascariensis) that are native to Madagascar, and the green python (Morelia viridis) at the Riverside Zoo. The **Photo Ark** also features the red-spotted crotalus (Trimeresurus jerdonii xanthomelas) at the Fort Worth Zoo, the Nelson's false coral snake (Lampropeltis triangulum nelsoni), and the Crotalus willardi willardi at the Saint Louis Zoo. Other entries include the Thamnophis sirtalis infernalis, a red bamboo snake from a private collection, and a Japanese rat snake (Elaphe climacophora) at Pet Paradise. The **Photo Ark** also includes videos of various animals, such as a pair of elk during mating season and an unusual encounter with a red fox. These multimedia elements help to bring the project’s mission to life, offering viewers a more comprehensive view of the animals and their behaviors. The project continues to document a wide range of species, highlighting their beauty and the importance of conservation efforts.
