Vivipary - when seeds sprout while still being attached to its mother fruit

We need to bring back the athletics body type post

New caterpillar discovered called a "bone collector caterpillar" that hides out in spiders nests by disguising itself as dead body parts and then steals all the spider's food when it isn't looking

Painting I did based on this poem :)

Can you show us the weirdest animal in Mexico?

Paxon:

Why yes! I have posted this long ago, but it's time to show them off again!!!

Mexican Mole Lizard (Bipes biporus), family Bipedidae, endemic to the Baja California peninsula of Mexico

This 2 limbed lizard is fossorial (burrowing underground). They breed and lay their eggs underground.

It is one of only 3 amphisbaenians that have limbs.

They are the pinkest when young, and turn whiter as the mature.

Though they are rarely seen, they may actually be quite common in their range.

As with many burrowing creatures shaped like this (such as legless lizards and caecilians), there is a belief among some local people that they enter the anuses of people who defecate outside… this is, of course, not true. (Many of these animals are called “tapaculo”).

LEGO NU UDRA INSTRUCTIONS HERE for my supporters!

The build is a bit repetitive, but otherwise very cool to sit on a shelf! As always, I also have guides on how to get the pieces to build your own!
