Residents in rural Malaysia have found a two-tailed lizard and a toad with a 16-inch tail, news reports said Thursday.

Farmer Ahmad Mustafa caught the unusual green lizard with a split tail near his house last month in the northern state of Penang, the New Straits Times said in a report accompanied by a photograph of the strange reptile.

Fed a diet of worms, the lizard is now 5.9 inches long "and it has found a special place in Ahmad's heart," the Times said.

Also Thursday, The Star said a toad with a tail measured at 15.75 inches has drawn curious onlookers to the home of a woman in the southern state of Johor.

Chiew Ah Chan said she was cleaning her house on Wednesday when she saw the toad trying to hop out of a drain. An Indonesian worker nearby caught the toad and handed it to the family, which intends to release it in the jungles in a few days after curiosity in the neighborhood has subsided.

The Star also published a picture of the toad.

I love how there's no picture of the toad.... We live in the fcking age of the internet and jpegs and fcking streaming video and there's no picture of the damn toad. This happens with almost every news story about some weird animal or anomaly... No picture or a very small one. I was shocked there actually was a picture of the lizard.

If the lizard gets attacked and drops it's tail in self defense, does it just drop one, or does it drop both of them? If it drops both, will two grow back, or just one?

ALL lizards can't do that, can they? 😕
I bet he wouldn't be able to drop it

You seem a little too emotionally invested in this toad! 😛
