The serpent who walked

The Bible says that prior to the fall, the Serpent was one of the most striking (I won't say magnificent) creatures on earth, immensely intelligent and cunning, and he wasn't slithering either. It didn't crawl on its belly until it was punished for tempting man. This Chinese newspaper report of a snake which was born with one clawed leg could give an indication of what the Serpent in Genesis might have looked like.
