Yesterday was National Dog Day and to celebrate, we zoomed in on the Dog-Faced Water Snake from India.

This aquatic, nocturnal snake likes to feast on fish, eels, frogs, and even crustaceans.

Look at that face.

Did you guess that we were zoomed in on a Checkerboard Worm Lizard yesterday?
That's right, it is a lizard, hailing from Northern Algeria, Western Morocco, Tunisia and the Chafarinas Islands of Spain.

👂In addition to not dropping its tail in defense, this species also lacks external ears.

👥This species can sometimes be found in pairs under rocks, but they don't prefer to hang out with members of the same s*x.

Did you know these even existed?

This reptile can be found where there is abundant leaf litter and sandy soils with plenty of rock cover in it's northern African habitat.

This species lacks caudal autonomy, which means it will not drop its tail as a defense.

Think you know what we have here? Post your guess in the comments and check back tomorrow for the answer.
