Antiguan racer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Antiguan racer
The Antiguan racer (''Alsophis antiguae'') is a harmless rear-fanged (opisthoglyphous) grey-brown snake that was until recently found only on Great Bird Island off the coast of Antigua, in the Eastern Caribbean. It is among the rarest snakes in the world. However, in the last 20 years, conservation efforts have boosted numbers from an estimated 50 to over 1,100 individuals by eradicating non-native predators and reintroducing the snake to other Antiguan islands in its original range. In addition to Great Bird Island, the Antiguan racer has successfully recolonised the nearby Rabbit Island, Green Island and York Island. ==Taxonomy== The Antiguan racer is a snake which belongs to the family Didsadidae, which includes about half of the world's known snake species. It belongs to the genus ''Alsophis'', which contains several species of West Indian racers. Many West Indian racers are threatened or extinct.
