Got a hilarious looking creature for you today. It's probably the closest thing to a real animal with googly eyes π
And it just looks...so dumb π
Meet Eryx Jayakari, or the Arabian Sand Boa as it is commonly known:
Lmao, it just looks so retarded derpy π
As their common name indicates, these funny looking creatures occur in the Arabian Peninsula:
Its geographic range includes Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, and southern Iran, where a small number of specimens have been found in Khuzestan Province, Bushehr Province and Kerman Province. sauce
But why the protruding googly eyes you may wonder..
Well, they are an evolutionary adaptation to their lifestyle. You see, these snakes spend most of their life buried in the sand, except for their eyes
During the day it buries itself deep in the sand but moves towards the surface at dusk. Here it remains slightly below the surface with just its eyes projecting, ready to pounce with a sideways flick of its head, on any small creature that happens to pass. Their prey includes short-fingered geckos (Stenodactylus spp.), the Baluch rock gecko (Bunopus tuberculatus), and worm lizards sauce
They are small snakes with a max length of about 38 cm and they are non-venomous, hence harmless to humans.
Here are a couple videos for your viewing pleasure:
Feel free to search the species on YouTube, plenty more to see :)
Other than the funny looks there's doesn't seem to be anything else worth mentioning about the species. As always, Wikipedia is a great place to start if you want to learn more about the species :D
Ok frens, hope you enjoyed discovering yet another bizarre creature with me. See you soon with more π
P.S. Tagging @enginewitty cause he loves this shit π

That sure is a weird-ass looking thing! Just based on the picture I sincerely thought that it was going to be some kind of joke of a snake somebody had manufactured or something. I guess it just goes to show that nature is not without a sense of humor!

The snake actually looks beautiful
This makes me remember how much my little brother loves snakes
Heβs always watching NatGeoWild
I am very afraid of snakes. People are very brave who visit them, capture them, make pictures, and they are used for many special things, including medicine.
