19 Slow Worms Mistaken for Vipers Rescued from Underground in Poland
The Leśne Pogotowie wildlife rehabilitation center in southern Poland received a report of vipers in a water meter well, but instead of venomous snakes there turned out to be 19 legless lizards — slow worms. The reptiles had entered the cool, damp space to overwinter, but were unable to climb back out along the smooth walls. They will remain at the shelter until spring.
