The Genus Amphisbaenia refers to a group of reptiles known for their unique appearance and behavior. Synonyms for this genus include worm lizards, snake lizards, amphisbaenids, and blind lizards. These creatures are found in various regions across the world, including Europe, Africa, South Asia, and the Americas. They typically have a long, cylindrical body with a blunt head and no limbs. Despite their snake-like appearance, they are more closely related to lizards and exhibit a range of behaviors such as burrowing, feeding on insects and small animals, and reproducing through internal fertilization. Amphisbaenids play a crucial role in their respective ecosystems but are often overlooked due to their secretive nature.
