Indotyphlops braminus (Daudin, 1803)

Браминский слепун (лат. Indotyphlops braminus) — вид мелких змей из семейства слепозмеек. Единственная партеногеническая змея. Самцы этого вида не обнаружены, а самки без спаривания откладывают яйца размером с земляной орех. Подобно многим роющим змеям, имеет покрытые чешуёй глаза и тупую морду. При нападении хищника змея выделяет неприятную едкую жидкость.
