The northern curly-tailed lizard (Leiocephalus carinatus) is thought to have devoured almost a whole bag of fat at a pizza restaurant near Cocoa beach. Initially, scientists thought that the animal was "obese" or pregnant, but the CT scan results showed the shocking truth.
"I can't believe my eyes! If you look at 3D simulation, you can see that the feces take up most of the animal's body, leaving only a small gap in the chest for the heart, lungs and liver," the biologist said. study scientist Edward Stanley from the Florida Museum, a member of the research team.
