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.

Sometimes I wish there was a zoo with only bizarre beasts….
Please say Baja California. You wouldn’t call South Carolina jut “the South State”
Omg has anyone noticed that the skeleton of the wormlizard looks like the baby Aliens from them old Alien movies?😵
What do they eat?
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? For example, you talked about how the Mexican mole lizard can burrow but not why it would. Thank you.
Awwww it's so cute
they are the closest real life thing to the worms of all tomorrows
With the alt pin colors…are they alt colors that the animal actually can be found with, IRL?
Legless Lizards?
I already love these long bois
'western science'
…
Great Video!
Looks like a 2-legged worm!!!!
Thank you for the update on the Sierra Leone Project!
I didn’t know this science nerd had a show about penis animals
WOOOAH WHAT A LITTLE WEIRDO!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Noodle is the ultimate life form.
I was going to mention Amphisbaena as being the strangest thing in existence (or atleast on land) then he said it is one.
I couldnt afford to stay on ur pin club, but ty so much 4 showin some of what it went to making progress. I teared up .
I would include basically all skinks in the "reduced limbs" category, since the vast majority of skink species do that.
Those skulls look like they would be more terrifying than even a T rex skull if they were scaled up. Such Teeth!
Very interesting little critters here!
First I learned about the axolotl, now the Mexican mole lizard. How many animals in Mexico look like adorable Pokémon?
