Lizards are reptiles with four legs...usually. Reptiles without legs are snakes...a lot of the time. And amphisbaenians mostly don't have legs, except when they do...but they're definitely not snakes.

@@rushdude90 Well, more or less, yes, but they have only the elongated part, they lack the limbless part (aquatic mammals don't have limbs but that would be 'piscification' more than 'wormification') I think the most promising worm-like candidate is the naked mole rat. They still have limbs, but they dig with their teeth, so maybe they become limbless in the future. I'd love to see a worm-lke bird too!

Hey, when you do these episodes, in addition to what makes it bizarre, could you please talk about some base stats such as if the animal is diurnal or nocturnal, what it eats and how it fits in the food web?

In this case the ecology of mole lizards is kind of given away by the name, they live like moles spending the vast majority of their lives underground. They eat worms and other invertebrates that live in the dirt.

@Zeder95 Год назад

I remember reading about these animals in a book about animal species as a child. Then, for so many years I literally never heard or saw anything about them at all. I even forgot their name. Nice to finally see something about them again. It is weird how these animals are so unknown by the general public and you rarely ever hear anything about them at all. When people think of reptile groups, most think of lizards, turtles, snakes and crocodiles, but almost no one thinks of Amphisbaenians as a separate fifth group. Great to see these interesting and unusual animals get some attention.
