In China's countryside, there used to be a game like this. It looks very special, like a snake, but it is very different from a snake. This animal is a quadruped snake.
The quadruped snake is a kind of wild animal widely distributed in the north and south rural areas of China. The reason why it is named is that its body looks like a snake, but what is different from the snake is that it has four feet, so it belongs to a lizard. In the countryside of the 1980s, the four legged snake was a very common animal. I remember when I was a child, when I went to school on a rural road, a four legged snake would pass in front of you inadvertently, scaring some girls to the core. During the holidays, once we have nothing to do, we will go to the fields to catch four legged snakes. At that time, we can catch many four legged snakes at will. Sometimes we will catch them as a kind of toy and let them go when we have enough fun.
In the 1980s, the four legged snake was also a game that people liked very much. No matter in the rural areas or in the eyes of many urban people, if the four legged snake was used for barbecue, it was an extremely delicious food and a necessary dish for many people to drink. This is not only the favorite for children, but also for the farmers at that time. In the 1980s, the material was very scarce. Many families couldn't eat pork. Only game could satisfy their taste buds.
But later, it may be the large-scale development in rural areas, and the use of the pesticide caused many wild creatures to suddenly disappear in a very short time, including the quadruped. Now it is speculated that the four legged snake is extinct.
