Today's word

colubrine /KAHL-yuh-bryne/ - 1. of, relating to, or resembling a snake  2. of or relating to a large cosmopolitan family (Colubridae) of chiefly nonvenomous snakes
I thought I already had a post somewhere on this blog with a list of adjectives that describe animals. If so, I can't seem to remember any of the animal adjectives on it: bovine returns only a post I won't link to because I'm a little annoyed with myself over it, in retrospect; ovine leads to a possibly insightful post I wrote while observing from a distance as a friend increased the level of chaos in his own home; canine leads to an interesting lesson our dog once taught me and a darker morning from a couple years ago than I have since seen the likes of; the rest that I can think of off the top of my head - feline, leonine, lupine, and vulpine - don't yield any search results. 
All of that is to say that I don't remember colubrine being on the list - and there were more than I've listed above on there - that I remember working on somewhere, but which I can't now find, anyway.
