The appearance of this reptile is a characteristic combination of three species: snakes, worms and turtles.

With a snake-like head, two short front legs and a tortoise-like claw, the body has a lot of worms like it, the appearance of a Mexican lizard mouse really makes many people feel scared. The bizarre appearance of this animal makes most people think of a monstrous animal whose head is a tortoise, and its rear body is a worm.

It is known that this animal is not really lizard but has a close relationship with snakes. It is also known as another common name, 5-finger deep lizard.

Another name is the 5-finger deep lizard

This is a species of worm family that lives mainly in Baja California, Mexico. The reason is that these animals often spend most of their time digging burrows like mole rats, so they are named as mole rat lizards.

Currently, Mexican mole rats are known to be one of only two reptiles that have two remaining extinct genera in the world.
