I wonder if that border fence with Mexico, will go down in the ground enough to stop these ugly Ajolotes?
Mexican reptile of the genus Bipes. It and several other tropical burrowing species are placed in the Amphisbaenia, a group separate from lizards and snakes among the Squamata. Unlike the others, however, which have no legs, it has a pair of short but well-developed front legs. In line with its burrowing habits, the skull is very solid, the eyes small, and external ears absent.
The scales are arranged in rings, giving the body a wormlike appearance.

another linkI dont think the fence is any good. But you guys got Homeland Security, right?
Not yet, but they're spending on it.;)
The stretch-limo of the reptile world.
I ajalote of fun thinking that up.
Anyone here got the recipe for chipotle ajalote? I remember it has a good flavor, but it's kind of bony.
I don't know why, but this really give me the judders.
Odd, because I like reptiles. Perhaps because it looks like a giant worm (I save them when I see them on the pavement, but I still don't like them much) or perhaps because of the word burrowing. Creepy.
And God said, "Watch me make a lizard out of this sna... Yes dear!! Coming!"
Just showed my 12 yr old this pic, and as suspected, she says "I want one!!"
(shudder)
I was certain this was going to turn out to be from the April (Fools) issue of Discover magazine, but apparently it's real - and from the expression on its face, it looks like it thinks that we are not. :eyebrow:
yeah, I thought it was fake, too, checked out Snopes and everything. There's a little stub on WikiP--the salamander pic is SO CUTE! but my first thought was . . . there are things still ALIVE in the lake beneath Mexico City????!
It's a penis with legs is all.

That's why it gave me the judders! Thank you.

Just think, in a few thousand years it should be able to walk upright.

Or possibly sooner if anyone can figure out how to sneak little blue pills into its diet. ;)
