July 23, 2008: Ajolote
From Neatorama.
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. |

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.

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.

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????!

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