to bad the woman killed it.. That would have been a sweet snake to have at a zoo or something. But the snake probably would have been killed anyways when the scientists wanted to cut it open and inspect it . Crazy stuff.

I think I might have had a heart attack if I had woken up to that in my bedroom. As much as I love snakes, I would probably have pounded it into an unrecognizable goo in my fright.

the interesting thing about this to me is that, if it's not fake, it seems to be further proof that snakes evolved from legged animals and the genes are still there, just switched off. an x-ray would be interesting to see.

i think it's probably fake though, like the bigfoot they recently 'found' in alabama or wherever.

thanks for the link!

That's interesting. If it is real, I wonder if it could be a result of pollution coupled with the theory that snakes have evolved from legged animals as Rob mentioned. I have seen reports of frogs with extra sets of legs as a result of pollution in the ground water they are born in. I have heard that China is badly polluted. Hmm.

it is interested to see that it's body is thicker where it's leg and foot is...could be from food or could be because someone did a bad PS job. lol
