Sara Ruane, a biologist at Rutgers University, explains that the researchers had to use traps to catch the mole lizards. She shared that when she looked at the bottom of the bucket and caught them, she was surprised because she couldn’t see anything. So she plowed through the sand, and a mole lizard suddenly emerged, swimming around in a beautiful pink body.
And for a few seconds, Ruane thought it might be some kind of blind snake because they were also pink and similar in appearance, but she knew the creature living here could only be that kind of lizard. It was unbelievable that her dream came true to witness such a magical mole lizard.
