The Mexican Mole Lizard
Is this a mole or a lizard? The Mexican mole lizard looks like a weird combination of both. They mostly eat earthworms and grubs, and mostly lives underground. This is why it has no pigmentation to its skin, giving it that pink mole-like coloration. These strange animals don’t dig too deep, however; they live near the surface, and they only come out at night or after heavy rains. They have big powerful claws on their front legs too that help them to dig through the dirt to get to food and safety.
