The Bipes is also known as the five-toed mole lizard, Mexican mole lizard, and "ajolote."
Anyway, the Bipes is, as a matter of fact, NOT a lizard as its name suggests. Instead, it is an amphisbaenian (try saying that five times fast) just like the famously-weird slow worm (Anguis fragile).
Bipeses (is that the plural?) are pretty small, only growing to 7 – 9 inches. Oddly, it only lays its eggs in July, and only like four anyway so they're kinda rare but its fine cuz they're cute. (Wait, how is that fine?)
They’re from Mexico! And they only come out of their burrows at night or after a lovely cool reign. (I totally, totally spelled that right.)
This is an oppertunistic predator that noms all day on earthworms, ants, termites, larvae of insects, the insects themselves (haven't they suffered enough), and…lizards!!!
Cannibalism
