Strange worm-like creature with 'hands' is actually something else
In Mexico, there is a pink animal that could easily be mistaken for an earthworm. It is, however, a reptile.
Nature is a fascinating aspect of Earth. Filled with all sorts of creatures, it is the home for millions of organisms. Some have been discovered by humans, however, there are many who have yet to reveal themselves. One such unusual creature is the ajolote lizard. This organism will leave you scratching your head, wondering whether it's a lizard or an earthworm.
Despite its pink colour (sometimes leaning towards purple) and its elongated body, the ajolote lizard has absolutely nothing to do with the earthworm. This reptile looks like an earthworm, but the two animals are not at all the same species.
In addition to being a reptile, the ajolote lizard, or Bipes biporus as it is known scientifically, has a special feature: it has a pair of legs. Yes 'a pair', because this reptile has no lower limbs. To a certain extent, it can therefore be said to be an unlikely mixture of an earthworm and a T-Rex.
The ajolote lizard is native to Mexico and measures about 20 centimetres. It is a burrowing animal, which means that it digs into the earth to live (like the earthworm) and find food. Moreover, it has a particular taste for insects and earthworms! As bioGraphic states:
While little is known about the Mexican mole lizard’s life history and behavior, the species’ abundance and the unusual niche it fills as an underground predator suggest that it’s a critical member of the region’s food web

This week Kim Jong-un made headlines again around the world while supervising North Korean nuclear missile tests. The attire he chose to do so has social media users laughing out loud.
After a seemingly inactive period and far from public appearances at least for the western world, Kim Jong-un returned to the limelight while supervising nuclear missile tests himself. What is unusual this time is the attire he chose which has enthralled social media users.
Kim Jong-un usually shocks the world with aggressive behaviour and scandalous actions directed at his fellow countrymen in his hermit kingdom, but also with loosely coined nuclear threats towards the west and allies. He usually does so while wearing a standard black-colouredoutfit.
In his latest appearance where he has been supervising North Korean nuclear missile tests, he has chosen an unusual white outfit with a ‘safari’ type hat, which has set social media abuzz, The Economic Timesreports
Foxnews reports about a number of social media users who have likened Kim Jong-un’s attire to the ‘Instagram Vacation Girl’ style, which is a trendy look for girls wearing a combo white dress combined with a white hat while exploring new vacation spots.
The Head of the Ukraine Mobilisation Campaign in the Russian Army has been found dead at this home under mysterious circumstances.
Lt. Col. Roman Malyk (49), was responsible for enlisting men to the mobilisation campaign launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin to bolster Russian forces in Ukraine by a force of 300,000 conscripts.
Malyk was pronounced dead at his home in a village in the Russian Primorsky region, TheMirror reports.
According to reports, the Russian official died from hanging near a fence at his home and local police have opened up a murder probe, however suicide has not been ruled out, the Hindustan Times reports
Roman Malyk, was in charge of following up on Moscow orders for troop movement for the Ukraine War.
Ever since the mobilisation decree was signed by Vladimir Putin in September, reports suggest that more than 220,000 men have been thus far enlisted.
Enlistment officers accompanied by local police authorities were in many cases forcibly taking up men who were resisting the conscription orders, The Times reports.
This stirred up growing resentment against conscription, the institutions, and officials fulfilling the orders.
As a result, during this period as many as 70 enlistment offices have been attacked with molotov cocktails as a token of increasing resentment in Russia against mobilisation.
