Mexican Mole Lizard

The Mexican mole is the subject of some hair-raising myths, which fortunately are untrue. People believed that it could enter the body of an unsuspecting person who makes the mistake of relieving themselves out in the wild. The five-toed worm lizard spends its time burrowing underground, and it resides in the Baja California Peninsula.

It doesn’t have any melanin on its skin, has only two front legs, and unlike other lizards, its tail doesn’t regenerate. They are known to emerge from the ground late in the evening. When above the ground, it has difficulties moving around.
