Scientists have discovered a new species of lizard in Cambodia, which has neither eyes nor legs.
Neang Thy, a zoologist with the Ministry of Environment in Cambodia and Fauna & Flora International (FFI), found the worm-like creature while he was exploring the Cardamom Mountains.
He noticed it when he overturned a log and managed to capture and examine it.
Dr Thy and his colleagues have now confirmed that it is a species new to science.
