Something fascinating has been discovered. Trachylepis ivensii is a small African lizard that uses a placenta to nourish its young before they are born. A number of lizards give live birth, but the fetus' nourishment normally comes from a large egg yolk. This little animal's fetus is nourished by blood vessels in the uterine wall in much the same way as a human's fetus is! Apparently nobody has described this reptilian feature before. See a picture and the article in Discover Magazine, October 2011, P. 18. (Sorry--no working link is currently available.)
Wow. Evolution is amazing…
