2Metal Dog this one is for you.

[charisstoma]

This is the Mexican mole lizard, or ajolote (Bipes biporus). They are the only known non-extinct animal that has just two limbs, aside from the Lesser and Greater Siren.



These subterranean amphisbaenians (lizards, in some people's estimation) only grow to about 8" in length (that's a thumb tip in the background of the pic for size comparison), but they're truly bizarre animals. Some people who live in their range believe that if a person sits on the ground, one of these may burrow up from the ground and enter their digestive system through their anus. Pretty scary stuff, possibly intended to teach children to keep up off the dirt to stay cleaner.

The animals are completely innocuous, existing on ants, termites and small 'bugs' like that. Their two powerful front legs - their only legs - allow them to tunnel efficiently through the top foot or so of soil.

Okay, found in the comments...Lindworm's are real.
Lindworm?
Lindworm = a fabulous monster usually resembling a wingless wyvern. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lindworm

The two-legged and wingless Lindworm (Draco serpentalis) is primarily seen from a great distance away, hunting wild Bactrian camels at speeds of 30 miles per hour. It probably gave rise to tales of the Mongolian Death Worm.

Description.
They are 8 to 10 feet high and continually grow in length by a few inches a year, the oldest males being 35 feet long. Colouration is orange, sandy yellow or pale green, varying to match the lindworm's terrain. Older males have yellow spines on their backs and wattles on the nose and chin. They have the best sense of smell of all dragons, making studying it unnoticed near-impossible. Clutches of up to twenty of their long pale eggs are buried although few hatch. Those which do ride on their mother's backs and only get off to feed.

Is it bad that I think they're kinda cute? I like lizards and snakes. I don't mind the larger spiders like tarantulas, but prefer to keep some distance between me and them (their hairs give me hives when they touch my skin).

Not a big fan of bugs though. Too annoying and the ones that are the hardest to kill (that mosquito in the dark bedroom at 3am, the housefly that won't stop circling your head no matter how man times you swat at it, the no-see-ums, etc.) are ALWAYS the most annoying. That and I'm deathly allergic to bees, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, etc. and the fact that the epipen that is supposed to help save my life can have... interesting results because of my MVP... yeah, not a big bug fan.
