A meter-long yellowish snake was found dead in Berlin's Hasenheide Park. It is still unclear how the animal got into the park and whether it was even alive there.
The district of Neukölln is now concerned with clarifying the origin of the exotic animal. It was said that such snakes could only be kept with permission from the responsible veterinary authority. However, no such case is known in Neuk Ölln, the district office said on Tuesday.
