Several animals and insects including worms, snails, caterpillars, and snakes are capable of limbless locomotion. Dibamids are lizards with highly reduced limbs but they are not completely limbless. There are a number of terrestrial and amphibious limbless vertebrates and invertebrates. Many vertebrates have evolved limbless or limb-reduced forms. While amphisbaenians are mostly limbless, three species have reduced forms of front limbs. Maggots are limbless, or else have small prolegs. Chilika limbless skink (CR) and fishing cat (VU).
