Researchers in Australia have rediscovered a secretive lizard with tiny legs that they thought may be extinct after it evaded detection for more than 40 years.
The researchers also saw two other threatened lizards: Mount Surprise sliders and limbless fine-lined sliders . All three species are members of the skink family, known for their snake-like features and tiny, sometimes non-existent, limbs. Mount Surprise sliders have small stumps as their back legs, while limbless fine-lined sliders don't have any legs at all. The sliders' reduced limbs enable them to"essentially swim through the soil," Amey said.
