Fossorial specimens, including the mole and caecilian, are uniquely adapted for subterranean burrowing. The mole, commonly known for its wedge-shaped head and reduced eyes, lives in tunnels and feeds on small worms and insects. On the other hand, the limbless caecilian, resembling a worm, thrives in
