Caecilian facts: they're amphibians! | Animal Fact Files

Caecilians look like worms or maybe even snakes, but they're neither! Caecilians are legless amphibians not closely related to any other living amphibian species. These awesome animals have greatly reduced eyes due to their underground lifestyle. They are found in tropical areas throughout most of the world, and some even live in water! Caecilians are the only amphibians with tentacles and they use these to sense their surroundings. Plus, they feed their babies with their own bodies!!
