おもしろい事実

Despite having legs, it often moves by wiggling like a snake through dense grasses.

Its body can be up to three times longer than its head, thanks to an incredibly long tail!

These lizards are sometimes called "snake-lizards" because of their very long body and reduced limbs.

They can hold their breath for several minutes to hide from airborne threats in water puddles.
