A giant living parasite has been discovered inside a venomous snake. The parasite was found in the respiratory system of the snake, and researchers believe it is a new species. The parasite is a type of nematode, or roundworm, and is significantly larger than other known nematodes. The discovery sheds light on the diversity of parasites that can inhabit snakes and the importance of studying these creatures. Scientists are now working to further study and identify this new species of parasite.
