The family Amphisbaenidae, also known as worm lizards, is an interesting and diverse group of legless lizards. Synonyms for this family include Amphisbaenia, Amphisbaeninae, and Amphisbaenins. While they are often mistaken for snakes or earthworms, Amphisbaenidae actually have distinct bodies that are made up of segments, giving them a unique appearance. These lizards are found in various regions around the world, including Africa, Europe, and South and Central America, and can range in size from just a few centimeters to over a meter long. Despite their lack of limbs, worm lizards are skilled at digging and burrowing in underground habitats.
