MANY VERTEBRATES HAVE EVOLVED LIMBLESS, LIMB-REDUCED, OR APODOUS FORMS. REPTILES HAVE ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS EVOLVED INTO LIMBLESS FORMS – SNAKES, AMPHISBAENIA, AND LEGLESS LIZARDS (LIMB LOSS IN LIZARDS HAS EVOLVED INDEPENDENTLY SEVERAL TIMES, EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE FAMILIES PYGOPODIDAE AND DIBAMIDAE AND SPECIES OF ISOPACHYS, ANGUIS, AND OPHISAURUS). THE SAME IS TRUE OF AMPHIBIANS – CAECILIANS, SIRENIDAE (A CLADE OF SALAMANDERS THAT ARE LIMBLESS EXCEPT FOR ATROPHIED FRONT LIMBS), AMPHIUMIDAE (A CLADE OF SALAMANDER WITH EXTREMELY ATROPHIED LIMBS THAT APPEAR NON-FUNCTIONAL) AND AT LEAST THREE EXTINCT GROUPS (AÏSTOPODA, LYSOROPHIA, AND ADELOSPONDYLI).[1] LARVAL AMPHIBIANS, TADPOLES, ARE ALSO OFTEN LIMBLESS.
