The kind of snakes that are seen on earth today are without feet, but millions of years ago there were snakes which also had the existence of feet. A recent research has made this fact even more clear. In this research, scientists have found shocking evidence about the existence of snakes with the feet, which was different from recognized reptiles till now.

Scientists believe that millions of years ago snakes had legs and they used to walk like other reptiles. Gradually, they had an advantage of leaving their feet due to natural selection, as this absence of organs helped them to slip and penetrate. But the recent new discovery has proved that the snakes with the foot were really on our earth, and this information is helpful in understanding the direction of their development.

What was found in research?

Scientists have discovered a particular type of ancient fossil, in which the remains of the foot have been found. This fossil is believed to be about 105 million years old. This discovery proved that the ancestors of the snakes had legs, but as time changed, the use of these legs ended and gradually they disappeared completely.

Importance of new discovery

This discovery not only gives important information about the development of snakes, but it also shows how species develop to their surroundings. With this, we can understand the mysteries of development and natural selection of life on Earth. This research is considered a major achievement in the fields of fossil science and biology.
