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.

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  |

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.
