Bipes genus of amphisbaenians (or worm lizards) found only in Mexico , the sole living member of the family Bipedidae .[2] carnivorous , burrowing reptiles, but unlike other species of amphisbaenians, they possess two stubby forelimbs placed far forward on the body.[3] [4] soil while burrowing, in a manner similar to a mole .[5]
