An order of limbless amphibians resembling worms or snakes, found mainly in tropical regions, also called caecilians.
From Greek 'gymnos' (naked) and 'ophiona' (relating to snakes), literally describing these serpent-like creatures that appear 'bare' of typical amphibian features like legs.
Gymnophiona are one of the wildest amphibian groups most people have never heard of—they're completely legless, many are burrowing worm-like creatures, and they challenge everything we think we know about what amphibians should look like.
