poate că e mai corectă varianta Ancăi, dar ca termen popular cred că s-ar putea folosi denumirea de mai sus

glosso cred că se referă la faptul că nu-şi mai folosesc dinţii, ci numai limba, nemaifiind carnivori

Asker: Nu cred. :))))) De data asta am şi poze şi sunt diferiţi, iar "glosso" se referă clar la limbă, după părerea mea.
