Today's blog is on a alien like lizard known as the Florida worm lizard/thunder worm, This worm like lizard is located in Florida and is special because it is the only worm like lizard in North America as you can see on the map they only live in the area marked in purple witch is not that large. This lizard is mistaken to be a worm by the people of Florida and stepped on because of their small size,But when you look closely you will see scales on its body this is on thing that makes it different form a worm. and as you can see in the picture below it appears that this lizard doesn't have eyes but they do this one is just covering them with small scales to protect them they use the scales to protect the eyes while digging through the ground , This lizard has nostrils that point backward to prevent mud and grime form getting into their nose.
