手足がないトカゲ、アシナシトカゲ 名前の通り、手足がなく、見た目はヘビにそっくりですが、ヘビではなくトカゲの仲間です。別名ヘビトカゲとも言われます。4本の足が退化して無くなっているため、見た目はヘビにそっくりです。もぐったり、狭いすき間に隠れたりするのに適した体つきです。 ヘビとトカゲは目などを見れば区別できます。トカゲはまぶたがあり、まばたきをしますが、ヘビにはまぶたがないためまばたきをしません。ヘビはまぶたがない（眼を閉じることができない）上、外耳（耳の穴）がなく、下あごの骨が左右に離れています。 トカゲはまぶたがあり、耳の穴があり、下あごの骨が左右に離れていません。自切することができ、尻尾を切ると再生する能力があり、これもヘビとの大きな違いです。アシナシトカゲを観察するときは、ヘビとの違いや共通点を探してみると面白い発見があるかもしれません。 アシナシトカゲは世界で200種以上が生息しています。草原、林、岩場などに生息し、昆虫、ミミズ、カエル、ネズミなどの小動物を捕食します。50年以上生きた記録もあり、寿命が長いのも特徴の1つです。 ▼鳥吉英伸 経歴、鳥吉英伸 現在 東京大学大学院医学系研究科で博士課程を卒業し、医学博士および獣医師の資格を取得。さらに、アメリカ獣医師会および米国カリフォルニア州獣医師会のメンバーでもある。また、獣医科大学大学院で教鞭を執り、動物病院の院長も務めている。彼はアメリカのフロリダ州シーワールド水族館やカリフォルニア州サンディエゴ動物園などで獣医師としての経験を積み、様々な動物種（哺乳類、鳥類、爬虫類、両生類、魚類、昆虫、無脊椎動物）の治療に携わってきました。その腕前は世界中で高く評価され、彼は二万もの動物種の治療に貢献しています。 彼はアメリカ獣医師会の「モデストマクリーン賞」を受賞し、これは日本人として初めての快挙です。彼はまさに珍しい獣医師、珍獣ドクターとしてその名を知られています。 【鳥吉英伸 画像】 ▽関連動画 奇跡のカリスマ獣医2 鳥吉英伸【日本語字幕版】Prof. Dr. Hidenobu Toriyoshi, Ph.D., DVM, D.M.Sc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tikT3im2Xc0 奇跡のカリスマ獣医 鳥吉英伸【1分切り抜き】「昆虫、魚から象、クジラまで治療する獣医さん」Prof. Dr. Hidenobu Toriyoshi, Ph.D., DVM, D.M.Sc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=947uHPtJY70 奇跡のカリスマ獣医2 鳥吉英伸（アニメ版） https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zequr0t4H7U 【都市伝説】未知なる絆 - 獣医の異次元冒険と動物たちとの対話。アヤワスカの力で描く、動物と人間の心の物語【日本語字幕】 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiXYO2Wtw5Q 小説「獣医の細道」本の要約【日本語字幕】 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJwY-xurKd8 小説「獣医の細道」本の紹介（ショート動画）【日本語字幕】 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aziyBccitXg 獣医の細道 - 世界で輝く若き凄腕獣医師の物語 “東京の獣医師ムラの陰謀と挑戦。日本の小動物病院業界の闇を暴く” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wl5MYewGvc サンディエゴ動物園の奇跡の獣医師: 日本人初の挑戦者 "2万種の動物との感動の診療日記と思い出の瞬間" 鳥吉英伸 Prof. Dr. Hidenobu Toriyoshi, DVM, Ph.D【日本語字幕】 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqJZtIihOrw 【鳥吉英伸】王のペットたち！世界最高峰のスゴ腕獣医との出会い「鳥吉博士とカンボジア国王のモンキーズ。異国の王宮ペットたちの物語」 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GDNEUieRIQ カバの歯科冒険、メロンで虫歯戦士 "カバの歯科治療の驚きの一瞬" 歯の秘密と治療の舞台裏【切り抜き】 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMzhTRThhQ The highest skilled veterinarian who treats everything from insects to elephants, Hidenobu Toriyoshi [English subtitled movie]-short movie https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Oaud7PjMjXs The highest skilled veterinarian who treats everything from insects to elephants, Hidenobu Toriyoshi [English subtitled movie] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upzAsplqvsg Pets of the King!

Lizard without limbs, the legless lizard. #animals #reptiles #pets  Dr. Hidenobu Toriyoshi

Lizard without limbs, the legless lizard 

As the name suggests, the legless lizard, also known as the snake lizard, slowworm or glass lizard, lacks limbs and closely resembles a snake, but it belongs to the lizard family rather than snakes. Due to the degeneration of its four limbs, its appearance closely resembles that of a snake, making it well-suited for burrowing and hiding in narrow spaces. 

Distinguishing between snakes and lizards is possible by observing features such as eyes. Lizards have eyelids and can blink, whereas snakes lack eyelids and do not blink. Snakes lack eyelids (cannot close their eyes), external ears (ear holes), and have lower jawbones that are separated on each side. 

In contrast, lizards have eyelids, ear openings, and their lower jawbones are not separated on each side. One significant difference is their ability to self-amputate; they can cut off their tails, and the severed tail has the capability to regenerate. Observing the legless lizard may lead to interesting discoveries by noting the differences and commonalities with snakes. 

There are over 200 species of legless lizards worldwide. They inhabit various environments such as grasslands, forests, and rocky areas, preying on insects, earthworms, frogs, mice, and other small animals. Some individuals have been documented to live for over 50 years, showcasing their remarkable longevity as a distinctive feature.
