North American speckled worm lizard (SciiFii)

The North American speckled worm lizard (Amphisbaena mississippiensis), also known as the North American zebra worm lizard, the North American worm lizard, and simply as the zebra worm lizard, is a species of amphisbaenian in the genus Amphisbaena that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, and forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The The North American speckled worm lizard most closely resembles the closely related Amphisbaena fuliginosa. The North American speckled worm lizard grows to a total body length of 30–45 centimetres (12–18 inches), including the tail. It is a burrowing nocturnal species and spends most of its time underground. The North American speckled worm lizard will feed on any small invertebrates, including insects and worms, that it can find while burrowing. When it finds its prey it will use its strong jaws to catch and kill it. This species is oviparous, laying around as much as 5-9 eggs at a time. The conservation status of the North American speckled worm lizard is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American speckled worm lizard's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
