Two legged snake fossil found

In Argentina, a fossil of a two legged snake was recently discovered. The anatomy of the snake, as well as the location of where it was found, suggests that it lived on land, adding proof to the theory that snakes evolved on land.

According to an article in the associated press, snakes are believed to have evolved from four legged lizards. Later on they lost their legs, over the course of time. This new discovery suggests just the opposite.
