One of the fastest snakes caught on camera

The Schokari sand racer, one of the fastest moving snakes in the Middle East, was caught on camera by Omani Photographer Mohammed Al Mashani.
“I found the snake on a mountain in Dhofar governorate, the snake is well-known for its high speed and it is up to one metre in length. The snake is poisonous and has two fangs in the rear part of its mouth. The snake’s rapid movement helps in catching prey such as birds and rodents.” - Mohammed Al Mashani
Schokari sand racer snakes have distinct features with four dark longitudinal stripes running over the top part of their bodies.
The snake is found in abundance in mountain areas where food is available, while very few are found near agricultural areas.
