A new amphibian species can survive on land with no nostrils, lungs, or legs, say researchers who discovered the bizarre beast.
The creature, found in Guyana, is part of the wormlike group of amphibians known as caecilians. Only one other caecilian species is known to live without lungs.

Sorry Freerepublic forbids postings pics of young Henry or young pics of Helen.
Freepers had reactions to the pics when first posted..
“Eye pain, or ophthalmalgia, may be described as a burning, throbbing, aching, or stabbing sensation in or around the eye. It may also be characterized as a foreign-body sensation. This sign varies from mild to severe; its duration and exact location provide clues to the causative disorder”.
