In Vietnam's driest and hottest region, a limbless forest creature took refuge under a rotten log, scrounging around for termites to eat. Suddenly, something lifted the nearly-blind animal into the air. It tried to defend itself, but to no avail.

In Tucson there's a similar species! Our cat caught one and brought it in where it immediately entangled itself in the carpet. Like a long skinny earthworm but not slimy of course because it's a snake (or at least we called them blind snakes, I guess maybe they're a different reptile).
We've got a similar species in the UK, a limbless lizard called a Slow Worm.
So cool!
