The scientific name: Tetrapodophis amplectus, or "four-footed snake that embraces." It's not a modern snake, but a fossil from 110 to 125 million years ago. It's tiny limbs were equipped with weirdly long "fingers" and toes, reminiscent of the appendages of sloths or bats. Rather than using them to walk, it probably slithered over the ground in traditional snake fashion. Perhaps the appendages helped the snake grasp prey or clasp a mate. It was only about 7-8 inches long.
