Asymblepharus eremchenkoi is a small lizard from the skink family without movable eyelids. It lives in the mountains of Central Asia and feeds on small insects.
Asymblepharus eremchenkoi differs from other skinks by the absence of movable eyelids and a special pattern of scales on the head. It regulates the number of insects in mountainous areas and serves as food for birds and snakes.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
