Snake found with arm

Talk about anything in here.

Neat! Atavisms like this do crop up from time to time both in snakes and other creatures, although I don't think I've ever seen one quite so well developed. Assuming the report is genuine, it will be interesting to see if there is a traceable cause, and whether that has any impact on why only one limb grew instead of the pair.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

Maybe it's the arm Grey Fox cut off Ocelot... Ocelot got a Snake's arm, so a snake got his.

weird and interesting, a one legged snake. I would hate to wake up and find that in my room.

That's pretty much one of the coolest things ever! I want one as a pet. Kinda like I want one of those fanged frogs that they recently found.
