Pretty bizarre...  It's a shame she killed it.

I wonder how often that happens?

Weird. I wounder how the foot developed. It makes me think that there might be a gene somewhere in its genome that says "foot".

mRNA might have had to do with it a bit as well Wink They should map out this snake's genome...

That was my first thought. It ate a lizard and it poked its foot through the snake's side. Maybe. Film at eleven.
