FL WORM LIZARD!! Neither a worm or even a lizard, this strange little creature is in its own grouping Rhineuridae. I was excited and just talking off the top of my head in the video and even mixed up their classification! But I already let the worm lizard go back into the wild so there’s no redoing the video after properly reading up 😂. “Amphisbaen” is a term often used colloquially to refer to any member of the family Amphisbaenidae, which includes the group of reptiles commonly known as worm lizards or worm snakes. However, Florida worm lizards (Rhineuridae) are not technically classified within the family Amphisbaenidae. The confusion might arise because both amphisbaenids and rhineurids share similar characteristics, such as a limbless, elongated body and a fossorial (burrowing) lifestyle. However, they are classified under different families within the order Squamata. Florida worm lizards belong to the family Rhineuridae, while amphisbaenids belong to the family Amphisbaenidae. Both groups are often collectively referred to as “amphisbaenians” due to their shared morphological traits and ecological roles. They spend the majority of their time underground and are seldom seen unless digging(like I was) or after a heavy rain floods them, giving them the other common name of thunder worm!! #Educational #EducationalVideo #AnimalEducation #EducationalPurposes #floridawormlizard #rhineura #rhineurafloridana #reptile #scicomm #conservation #wormlizard
