Do you know limbless lizrad.


Don't mistake this picture; it is not a snake in there but a limbless lizard that is not existing anywhere in the world.

In fact, this a new discovery. The main difference between a snake and lizard is their eating skill.
Snakes can swallow preys that are even larger than their head but lizards can only bite and chew to eat their preys.

The discovery of this strange creature is reported in Yahoo News. The new lizard was found 10 days ago during a field study in the forested region of Khandadhar near Raurkela in Orissa state, about 625 miles southeast of New Delhi.

I had visited Orissa once but that was a place full of mines. Orissa is rich in natural resources and a lot of forests dot the state.
