Ah, legless lizards. Gotta be one of my favourite genre of scaly bois
- it has legs, but just one pair, which is hilarious
  
  I can't tell which way evolution is going
  
  Oh, i miased it from the meme somehow lol OK, only the hind legs makes it even funnier
  
  skinky

Ah, Australia! So, in which weird yet amazing ways will this one kill you?

So, with more evolution, will it lose those legs or will it gain front legs?
- Evolve into fins, then gills, then come back to the ocean
  
  Probably not the gills. Once you go lungs you never go back, looking at all those mammals in the ocean.
- honestly, it's for it to decide (As a human I'd whisper stay the course, hands are overrated and gave me taxes)

We have those in the south west of UK where I grew up. We call them slowworms.
- Lol, we call them blind sneakers? in German

Oh my god, amazing! Skinks are good bois. Happy to have more of them. The name is pretty cool too. Tagalaka slider. Rolls off the tongue.

yo that's a mf snake

Skinks are cool but they don't beat the olm

Wait til you hear about Glass Lizards (and other legless lizards.)
A new one is cool too though!

All lizards want to be a snake. But only a select few are chosen for greatness.

convergent evolution is neat
- Considered snakes evolved from ancestor of lizards. And are related to lizards, squamates. And legless lizards evolved 25times
