    Caecilians are long-bodied, limbless amphibians that look similar to earthworms because of segmental rings around their body. Although they are not exactly amphibian-looking, their bones, teeth, fat bodies and other structures show that they are related to salamanders and frogs.

      They’ve also developed venom resistance four times (source) and are themselves possibly the only venomous amphibians (source)

      They also produce milk for their young.

      Some caecilian species engage in a little-studied behaviour called ‘skin feeding’, where newly born babies use specialised ‘skin scraping’ teeth to pull at their mother’s nutrient-laden flesh to fatten themselves up.
