Snake with foot found in China - Telegraph

The question is not meant seriously, so I put it in the humour section... but it is interesting.

If it actually is a functioning/partially functioning foot, I would say that it must have been produced in a lab somewhere.

Wow, thanks Paul, that is really cool. I think it is a MOSTLY cursed serpent.

That is just creepy and disgusting!

I don't see how your verdict should be different if it wasn't functioning, but the article says it was discovered "working its way along a wall using his claw".

Dean Qiongxiu, 66, said she discovered the reptile clinging to the wall of her bedroom with its talons in the middle of the night.

Time To MOVE!

Must have been something he ate.

And God said to the servant, from now on you will crawl on your belly (or so it says in the danish version) this little snake wanted to defy God, and got beaten to death for it, by an old woman

What do you expect for something that was "Made in China"!

Finally, a snake that can bruise both its own heel and head!

Seriously . . . I read somewhere (I cannot document) that snake skeletons show 4 appendage buds on their spines where 4 limbs might have once existed.

FWIW

FWIW

Pythons and boa constrictors have hind limb bones buried under their skin and muscle.

China's nuclear experiments are getting out of hand. Now they're causing random mutations in poor, innocent snakes! What will be next?

Seriously, though, if it turns out that snakes have(or have had) the genetic capability for limbs, it will be a stunning revelation for literal-Genesis folks.

Ewww. Looks fake though.
