What are the Harmless Snake Imitators presents the Museum Lecture on November 30th

How difficult it is to recognize a snake from a lizard we will understand this Saturday November 30, during the traditional lecture at the Burgas museum. The biologist Bozhana Ribarova will introduce us to the little-known world of reptiles and the so-called legless lizards, which most people have no idea about. Their limbs are completely stunted, and they closely resemble snakes.

There are two interesting representatives of these lizards in Bulgaria - one of them is smaller in size and often goes unnoticed, as the other one is large, easily noticeable and very often people kill it by confusing it with a snake. Knowing the characteristics and peculiarities of the two species of legless lizards in Bulgaria, we find out how harmless they are. Experts remind that it is important to protect these species and not kill them - both them and other species of reptiles, so as not to disturb the diversity and beauty of the Bulgarian herpetofauna, and last but not least, to preserve the ecological balance in the native nature.

The traditional lecture in the Burgas Museum will be held this Saturday, November 30, at 11:30 am at the Ethnographic Exposition at 69 Slavyanska St. (behind St. Cyril and St. Methodius Church). The entrance fee is preferential - for adults 2 BGN and for students and pensioners - 1 BGN.
