@stadtpost: first glance, these animals look like tiny snakes. But they’re actually skinks — a group of lizards that evolved to have extremely reduced limbs. Some species have almost completely lost their legs over millions of years, while others still retain tiny fingers and toes as a reminder of their lizard ancestors. Scientists have found that limb reduction evolved dozens of times in skinks, making them one of the most fascinating examples of evolution in reptiles. These two look like they’re holding hands, but they’re actually showing a snapshot of a remarkable evolutionary journey. #Evolution #LizardFacts #NatureAmazing #WildlifeTok #ScienceFacts
