Yellow-Bellied Three-Toed Skink



I really, really love this little gal--and everything she represents.  National Geographic featured her in an article titled "Evolution in Action: Lizard Moving From Eggs to Live Birth."

(I also just had to edit myself -- I had typed "I really, really love this little guy."  However, given that *she* is carrying her embryos in her belly, I am fairly certain I had it wrong there...)

Please check out her article here.

Almost as entertaining as (though far less educational than) the article are the comments by readers at the bottom.  Once again, the Internet serves as a forum for Holier/More Evolved Than Thou folks on *both* sides of this age-old creation vs. evolution argument to show their ignorance via petty, often completely asinine comment postings.  Good job, guys.
