What is another word for amphisbaenia?
Pronunciation: [ˌamfɪsbˈiːni͡ə] (IPA) 
Amphisbaenia, also known as worm lizards, are a group of legless lizards found in the Americas, Africa, and Europe. There are several synonyms for this word, including Amphisbaenidae, Blanidae, and Bipes, among others. The term derives from the Greek words amphi meaning "both" and sabainein meaning "to walk." The name is fitting as these unique creatures have the ability to move in both directions with equal ease, hence the nickname "two-headed snakes." These fascinating creatures have a long, cylindrical body, and a pointed head that resembles the head of a snake. Their eyes are small, and their limbs (if present) are very short, making them look snake-like in appearance.
