Nowadays, these sleek little critters are legless – but they weren’t always. Through evolution, their front legs disappeared completely and their back legs ended up just small scaly protrusions. But they can still jump 30 centimetres into the air!
But Legless Lizards can’t outrun the destruction of their habitat.
Will you lodge a missing creature alert with your local Member of Parliament? Tell them we need strong national environment laws to protect the places and wildlife we love – and ask them to raise this with their party leader.
Fill out the webform with your name and why you care. We'll print your name and message on a special missing creature alert and post it to your local MP. If you prefer, you can print and post it yourself.

Why on Earth are (most) humans so mindless and greedy and grasping – we tout how we are civilised and the smartest creatures on the planet – not so. Why do we let foreign multi-nationals into our country to own and produce from our lands – money – greasing the the hand that matters – the selfish acts of the people in positions to allow this, turning the blind eye so they can have more money is destroying our country and planet. the biodiversity of nature/wildlife is necessary and there for a reason. Why do the powers that be allow this to happen when the majority of the population rejects it. Why are we not practicing a democracy – not just saying we have one? Why is any other life disregarded and disrespected with zero conscience? MONEY. Pretty sad and sickening.
Please stand up and represent the other lives on this planet that are unable to defend themselves. Please be respectful to life – all kind
