A snake with a foot (it's not a dismembered leg, they checked) has been discovered in China.The anomalous creature was discovered by 68-year-old Dean Qiongxiu, who said she spotted it crawling up her bedroom wall by its talon in the middle of the night, before beating it to death with a shoe out of fear.
She preserved its body in a bottle of alcohol and it's now being poked and probed at the Life Sciences Department at China's West Normal University in Nanchang.
Snake expert Long Shuai said: "It is truly shocking but we won't know the cause until we've conducted an autopsy."

Snakes used to have Legs (they still have the hip bones)
this is just a genetic throwback, probably an activated gean that is usally dormant. - 6 months ago

yeah i saw something on tv about researchers activating an old gene in chickens that gave them a longer, more reptilian tail.
this is probably like that
although it must be really rare for a mutation as dramatic as this to occur outside a lab - 6 months ago

It looks really amazing, who knows what evolution/new species are going to be coming out next.
Evolution is moving so fast, just think what it it will look like with 4 legs and running around, that would be scary. But it still looks cool and who knows what will come next? :D - 6 months ago

Very unusual -- I jokingly thought it might have been the undigested leg of an animal poking out from the stomach lol.
