Asterdai Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_worm Point 1. Like many other lizards, slowworms also shed tails (autotomy) by breaking one of their tail vertebrae in half, as a defence mechanism. The tail regrows, but remains smaller. Ow sounds painful!? suggested reading topic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain Point 2. I wonder what the latin name means... http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Anguis+fragilis+latin&meta=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Oh but wait it, it means something else! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A2998443 Point 3. The females give birth to live young (ovoviviparous birth). In the days leading up to birth the female can often be seen basking in the sun on a warm road. They are common in gardens and can be encouraged to enter and help remove pest insects by placing black plastic or a piece of tin on the ground. People actually want these things?? (my personal opionin is that they seem quite cool now, but id Never get near one, they scare me! ) http://www.froglife.org/FAQs/SnakeSlowworm/SnakeSlowwormFAQ.htm (hmm wonder if Addy's shedding sand is like that, that he can lose limb and have it regrow? what is addy made from anyway??) indyra, does your tail regrow if i pulled it off? i mean...not me, i err if it got say stuck in the golemus mills machinery for err example! How addy uses sand (can a mod use this as a button to open when people click it, i can reward one silver, i know ts not your job...but it will be helpful) Addy: anyway,so I can change a table into a muffin,but the muffin will taste like the table...so I now keep a flask of sand which containes the sand I got from breaking fir's muffins.. addy: now I am a mobile muffin factory...though I have very little sand left..enough for just one muffin.. Asterdai: in a way you could "shed skin" like a limb to escape from people who are chasing you Asterdai: if they grab on to an arm! Asterdai: ooo i wonder if indyra's tail can do that! Asterdai: if it is lizard like? addy: lol aster,I dont regrow things,I can cut my arm,then break something else into sand and use that sand to reform it as my hand. addy: but I can do this... *his right hand breaks into sand and begins to shape itself again* : addy soon his hand turns into a broad and sharp blade just like the one on a full grown knator,just longer and sharper addy: *looks at the blade carefully* ^^ : addy the blade breaks into sand and reform as a normal hand addy: indy's tail?lizard like?I doubt it... Asterdai: which bit of you is breaking! its just like an explosion! Asterdai: i dont think my eyes can focus on it correctly *grins* addy: ( my hand broken into sand,and formed a blade upto the elbow,just like the knator,then I broke it into sand and reformed my hand) Edited May 18, 2010 by Asterdai
