Ceylon caecilian

Congratulations Dilan! Your spotting has been chosen for Project Noah's Fact of the Day:" A snake or a worm? Neither! Caecilians (order Gymnophiona) belong to the taxonomic class of Amphibia (amphibians), together with frogs and toads (order Anura) and salamanders and newts (order Caudata). Caecilians have no limbs, have small or non-existent eyes (caecilian derives from the Latin word caecus, meaning "blind"), and their body is ringed in appearance. The largest species can reach up to 4 ft. Caecilians can be terrestrial or aquatic, and are found in wet, tropical regions of Southeast Asia, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, parts of East and West Africa, the Seychelles, and Central and South America.
