The Limpopo burrowing skink (''Scelotes limpopoensis'') is a lizard species found in the Limpopo River valley in South Africa. This species lost the forelimbs entirely and the hind limbs are reduced to only two digits. ==Taxonomy== There are two sub-species: * Scelotes limpopoensis albiventris JACOBSEN 1987 - first described in the Langjan Nature Reserve * Scelotes limpopoensis limpopoensis FITZSIMONS 1930 Although both sub-species occupy a similar habitat the range of ''S. l. albiventris'' is smaller than ''S. l. limpopoensis'' and they have not been discovered in sympatry, and may probably be a full species. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scelotes limpopoensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
