SourceA snake with a single clawed foot has been discovered in China, according to reports.

Dean Qiongxiu, 66, said she discovered the reptile clinging to the wall of her bedroom with its talons in the middle of the night.
"I woke up and heard a strange scratching sound. I turned on the light and saw this monster working its way along the wall using his claw," said Mrs Duan of Suining, southwest China.
Mrs Duan said she was so scared she grabbed a shoe and beat the snake to death before preserving its body in a bottle of alcohol.
The snake – 16 inches long and the thickness of a little finger – is now being studied at the Life Sciences Department at China's West Normal University in Nanchang.
Snake expert Long Shuai said: "It is truly shocking but we won't know the cause until we've conducted an autopsy."
A more common mutation among snakes is the growth of a second head, which occurs in a similar way to the formation of Siamese twins in humans.
Such animals are often caught and preserved as lucky tokens but have very little chance of surviving in the wild anyway, especially as the heads have a tendency to attack each other.

they got a lizard with the same sorta skin hacked off one of its leg and then stuck onto a snake.

China is one of the most polluted countries on Earth. Mutation tbh.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
We are one step closer to Human Extinction!

Until that's proven though, ARGH! BASILISK!

this is hilarious, i just saw a frog in my garage that I swear has a third leg, or his one leg got damaged and it just looks like a third leg...One thing is for sure he hops really weird. Should i go try and snap a photo?
edit: nevermind, he just had a bunch of shit stuck on him.

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
This is awesome. Yet kinda scary at the same time lol
They've found a mutated frog with two heads (one with no brain), five rear legs, three front legs, and some wierd ass leg/mutant penis on his it's back.some_random_panda wrote:

I bet it just swallowed an animal which foot is now sticking out
How the hell could it move along a wall using a single claw?

Yeah, that's not how genetic mutations work...some_random_panda wrote:

It makes sense when you see a snake with two heads, because they actually have heads.
They lack legs, and even if fetal snakes have some pre-leg structure left over from their evolutionary history, the amount of sequence addition/change that would need to happen to form a complete leg would be nearly impossible. That's really odd to say the least.
Its looks like they chopped its head off and made a new one in the style of the awsm smilie
The fact that it was using its claw in a useful manner (before it was beaten to death) shows that it may have been a useful mutation, had this snake been able to reproduce it more sucessfully because of this useful claw then that's evolution dudes. Eventually they'll evolve another claw, and another, and another and then become!
lizards.
lizards.
Good observation Mek
the fuck?
