Oooops, didn't check the date, sorry guys, four year old news.
Still very interesting.

That's creepy as hell! I'd freak out if I woke up to that in the bedroom. Poor little guy.
Haha

Thanks for sharing

Love to know what that University's findings were, are more snakes about to start appearing with limbs? or was it just a freak of nature?, shame she killed it....

I highly doubt it. What purpose would a parasitic foot on a snake serve? Other then getting in the way. I do agree it should not have been killed.

Sincere apologies obviously I don't have the qualifications as you do to make my statement. It was merely a thought and my belief that snakes originally started out with apendages.

I stand corrected.

Another wonderful piece of evidence for evolution by natural selection. Very fascinating that it was an actual functioning limb.

There's no need to get all defensive. I was just merely stating my thoughts on your post. After all that's what a forum is for correct? In no way shape or form do I feel I am more qualified then you. I don't know where you got that idea from. It's a proven fact snakes started out with appendages, but they evolved away from them for a reason.

Could be something it ate that scratched away at the snakes inside and popped out a bit like a lizard or something

I think you're going out on a limb with that thought.

I'm not pulling your leg.

Nor does your conspiracy have a leg to stand on, man.
Stop scratching for the truth!
