Ophiodes vertebralis, the jointed worm lizard, is a species of limbless lizard of the Diploglossidae family. [2] It is found in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.
The genus Nephrurus, collectively referred to as the knob-tailed geckos, comprises several species of small, desert-dwelling, drought-tolerant Australian gecko. They are named for their stubby, knob-like tails, and are also easily identified by their rather large eyes. This adaptation of enlarged eyes is indicative of an animal’s lifestyle being predominantly crepuscular or nocturnal.
