Great, a snake that can open doors…
Today is the start of a new topic called bizarre animal of the week! Every week we will pick an animal that looks so bizarre you will think it’s Photoshopped and, after discovering this isn’t the case, most likely dream about for month’s to come. Our first horrifying entry to the series is this Mexican Mole Lizard!
As you probably know, we humans have no real natural enemies and we can just go on with our daily lives without ever having to worry about getting eaten. Well, unless your one of those people who keeps a pet lion of course. One of the reasons for that is the fact that we are intelligent and have hands to build things. Without our hands we would probably be extinct eons ago and it’s what gives us a pretty significant advantage over any other creatures in the animal kingdom.
However just imagine if nature wanted to even the playing field… Here we have the first sign of a horrifying phase of evolution where snakes start to grow arms! Meaning it could in theory open your bedroom door ....... Fortunately for us these Mexican Mole Lizard’s are not able to wipe out the human race just yet. They are quite tiny (15–23 cm), only live for 1 to 2 years and thankfully only eat ground dwelling insects and earthworms. Therefore mankind hasn’t declared war on these bizarre animals, at least not yet!
