The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,
Commentary on Leviticus 11:292 voices
The identification of the creeping things here named is not always certain. They are most likely those which were occasionally eaten. For the Tortoise read the great lizard, for the ferret the gecko (one of the lizard tribe), for the chameleon read the frog or the Nile lizard: by the word rendered snail is probably meant another kind of lizard, and by the mole the chameleon.
