I would have thought it a snake...
4 Legless Lizard Species Discovered in California
But I guess its a lizard...  Seems like a very god example of evolution before our eyes! Oh no, does that mean this should go to OTR&P?

I spent 2 weeks in a boat on the Amazon river this summer. One day we saw a "snake" swimming in the river. It was caught and photographed before being released. It's also a legless lizard.

I guess if they can blink their eyes and have ear holes they don't need legs to be a lizard...who would have thunk?

FWIW in Cantonese the word for lizard literally translates as "4-legged snake."

Well, if you had any land development projects in that area, you can kiss your plans good-by.

at least some were found in areas already developed - e.g. the safety zone at the ends of runways - kinda like all the species protected by being on military bases
and let me follow the rest of you PARFing up all the threads in OT by saying: "any land development projects there would just benefit illegals anyway" |
