Scientists have dug up a new species of caecilian amphibians in northeastern India. They are related to other amphibians such as frogs and salamanders. These worm-like creatures spend their whole life underground so they are hard to discover.
This particular new species, called Chikilidae, is unique because its closest relative resides in Africa; giving excellent credence to continental drift.
These bizarre amphibians, have some unusual eggs that the mother apparently guards for the duration of their gestation until they hatch.
