EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Slow worm, scientifically known as Anguis fragilis. Contrary to popular belief, this remarkable reptile is not a snake but rather a limbless burrowing lizard native to Eurasia. The artwork perfectly captures its unique features and characteristics that set it apart from snakes. With distinct eyelids and the ability to blink, the Slow worm displays an intriguing blend of reptilian traits. In its natural grassy habitat, this carnivorous creature primarily feeds on slugs and worms. Its long lifespan allows it to grow over 50 centimeters in length, making it an impressive sight indeed. One fascinating defense mechanism possessed by these lizards is their ability to shed their tails when threatened. The white background of the photograph emphasizes every intricate detail of this slow-moving reptile's body structure. This stunning illustration serves as a testament to the wonders found within European wildlife and nature. Created by LUIS MONTANYA/MARTA MONTANYA for Science Photo Library, this artwork stands out with its precise depiction of zoological elements. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the biological marvels present in our world while shedding light on herpetology and reptilian studies.
