Barkudia insularis
Barkudia insularis is a limbless lizard thought to have become extinct long ago. It was discovered by a Zoological Survey of India team, while looking for a rare mangrove plant on Barakuda Island in Chilika Lake, Orissa, India. This is the only place in the world where this unique species can be found. The lizard looks like a huge earthworm. It lives in the sub-stratas of the soil and usually live on small arthopods . Four lizards were sighted - two young and two adults.
