🐍Aesculapian Snake
La culebra de Esculapio (Zamenis longissimus) es una especie de serpiente de la familia Colubridae. Su zona de distribución forma parte del Paleártico de Europa y del occidente de Asia. Con una longitud de hasta 2 metros, se encuentra entre las serpientes europeas más grandes, aunque no es tan masiva como la Serpiente de cuatro rayas (Elaphe quatuorlineata) o la Serpiente de Montpellier (Malpolon monspessulanus). La serpiente de Esculapio ha tenido gran importancia cultural e histórica por su papel en la antigua mitología griega y romana y el simbolismo derivado de estas.
