The Australian Schmidt's two-legged lizard, Lerista karlschmidti , lacks front limbs, and the congener, L. stylis , has vestigial snake-like hind limbs. The tail is autotomized and regenerates from the cut end of the tail, but the regenerated tail does not fully recover, and many Japanese lizards have short regenerated tails.
