Mother Caecilian
Look like worms, don't’ they? They’re not, they’re amphibians that live in the rainforest.
They don't have much going for them, so they survive in underground lairs. The mother feeds her young by letting them lick a secretion from a “Cloaca” which is a small opening in her body…but it doesn’t end there. She lets her babies bite into her with their razor-sharp teeth and eat her skin which is very nutrient rich. Her skin regrows every three days so she can keep feeding them.
