Archivo: Cunningham's Skink (21213208258)

Descripción: Scientific Name: Egernia cunninghami The family will have a distinct territory which they defend against other intruding skinks and even have their own special latrine area! Cunningham's skink is a large, prickly lizard usually around 25-30cm in length. The colour varies from those which are almost totally black with a few white spots, to others that are predominantly grey with black bands or others which have an overall rusty red colour. Each scale ends in a sharp, rigid point, especially on the tail. If threatened, the lizard will flee to the nearest rock crevice and puff up its body and use the spines to anchor itself into the refuge. Trying to remove a stubborn Cunningham's skink from this position is practically impossible.
