What about this one? Jimp 10 March 2006

According to the Axolotl article it's not an Amphisbaenia, it's from the Amphibia class. Amphisbaenia are from the Sauropsida class, according to this article. --portugal (talk) 18:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name

The article says "Their name is derived from Amphisbaena, a mythical serpent with a head at each end." This may not be 100% correct - T. H. White in "The Book of Beasts" suggests that the mythical creature was an exaggerated version of this real animal. Vultur (talk) 20:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Presence

There are such animals in Portugal as well, I've seen them. --portugal (talk) 18:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
