The article describes a male common lizard, Zootoca vivipara, with unusual leg and facial damage. The lizard was captured in Dorset, England on July 1, 2008 during a capture and translocation exercise. The lizard's left foreleg was reduced to bone. The radius and ulna were exposed and the right arm was truncated at the wrist. It was unclear whether the conditions resulted from a pathology or injury, as the lizard was active and fully mobile.
