Record-setting legless lizard noted in North Carolina

A remarkable legless lizard reaches 43 inches in length and can shed its tail during fights. It eats insects and other prey, grows a new tail that trails behind, and is often mistaken for a snake though it has eyelids. Found behind Meredith College, the species is a longtime NC native rarely seen near homes.
