A species of snake that is found on only one small island is defined as an ENDEMIC species.
- An endemic species is a species that lives in a single defined geographic area (e.g. an island, river, peninsula, country or any other geographically delimited area).
- For example, the lemur is an endemic species from the island of Madagascar, whereas Kiwi represents a family of birds that is endemic to the island of New Zealand.
