Amphisbaena mertensii

''Amphisbaena mertensii'' is a worm lizard species in the genus ''Amphisbaena''. This species is endemic to South America. Amphisbaenians are fossorial reptiles with few predators due to their powerful bite and writhing defensive tactics. 〔Barbo, F.E., Marques, O.A.V., 2003, Do aglyphous colubrid snakes prey on live amphisbaenids able to bite. Phyllomedusa, 2(2): 113-114.〕 However, some snakes have been found feeding on Amphisbaenians including ''A. mertensii''. 〔Barbo, F.E., Marques, O.A.V., 2003, Do aglyphous colubrid snakes prey on live amphisbaenids able to bite. Phyllomedusa, 2(2): 113-114.〕 This species is also able to defend itself against dangerous predators such as snakes by releasing a foul discharge from its cloacal region. 〔Barbo, F.E., Marques, O.A.V., 2003, Do aglyphous colubrid snakes prey on live amphisbaenids able to bite. Phyllomedusa, 2(2): 113-114.〕
