While European legless lizards, like Malfoy, might look similar to snakes, there are a few key differences. First, unlike snakes, lizards have eyelids and can therefore blink and close their eyes. Second, snakes do not have external ears and lizards do. That tiny hole you see on the side of Malfoy’s head is actually his ear! Lastly, lizards tend to have fleshier tongues, which you can see Malfoy using to smell his surroundings. #BRZoo #NowYouKnow | BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo
