RARE ANIMAL : A Snake-Like Lizard

A legless lizard Lialis burtoni originated from Papua has a body like a snake. Just like the name, despite of its long body that can reach 1 m, this nutbrown-patterned lizard with dark brown lines all over its body does not have leg. Normally, a snake head is blunt at the end and bigger than the lower part of the head, a legless lizard has a pointed head. Another distinctive feature is that the lizard has eye lids and ear holes unlike snake.***

AN EXTREEM DEFORESTATION

A recent assessment by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) projects that orangutans will be virtually eliminated in the wild within two decades if current trends continue. Orangutans are native to the tropical forests of Indonesia and Malaysia, where rapid forest loss and degradation are threatening orangutans and other species, including the Sumatran tiger, the Sumatran rhinoceros and the Asian elephant.
