There is an idiom allusion that is very well-known: drawing a snake to add feet, this idiom metaphor does superfluous things, not only is it useless, but it is not appropriate, and it is superfluous to add feet to the snake when drawing snakes! If you really paint a snake with four legs, is it a bit like the four-legged snake common in the field, the scientific name is Chinese stone dragon!
But in nature, there is a kind of lizard that slowly degenerates its limbs, becoming less like a lizard, but to degenerate in the opposite direction of "painting snakes", does this lizard want to degenerate its limbs into a snake? The English name of this lizard is Western Three-toed Skink, which translates as: Western three-toed lizard, a kind of stone dragon living in Europe! (Pay attention to the six dimensions of nature And let nature know nature!) ）
The true identity of the Western three-toed lizard is still a kind of stone dragon, although its legs have degenerated to almost invisible, but it is obvious that it still has legs, unlike snakes, snakes have all their legs degraded! (Pay attention to the six dimensions of nature And let nature know nature!) ）
The Western three-toed lizard became like a snake, its limbs slowly lost its function, its movement was similar to the gliding of a snake, moving in an S-shape like a snake, but the head was still obviously the head of a lizard, and there were no snake-like teeth in its mouth!
The limbs of the domestic stone dragon are still very obvious, very long, and the speed of running with the limbs is also very fast, perhaps due to environmental reasons, the limbs of the Western three-toed lizard are slowly degenerating, and what fascinates scientists even more is: the legs of the three-toed lizard continue to degenerate, is it really necessary to completely degenerate into a snake?
The legs of the Western three-toed lizard are too small to function, and the appearance and mode of action are more like snakes, perhaps wanting to disguise themselves as snakes, making it easier to hunt insects including crickets, locusts, beetles, and caterpillars!
