REPTILIAN TUESDAY # 73
We’re hoping a plane to Australia on this Reptilian Tuesday. We’re going to meet a lizard today. Do you think they say good day mate?
MEET THE MAJOR SKINK!
Range/Habitat: South New Guinea- Northeast Australia/forest
Diet: Carnivore: insects, small invertebrates
Length: 23 ½-28”
Conservation Status: common
Fun Facts:
- Major skinks have a squarish shaped body.
- They have muscular legs.
- Major skinks are dark brown with a yellow underside.
- Major skinks are often seen basking in the sun.
- Female major skinks can have up to 6 babies per litter.
Major skinks are funny looking with their little short legs and blunt noses. We love all skinks and these guys are no exception.
I am also seen basking in the sun. Or taking a street-nap, as Mom would say.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Sun naps are the best! Our cat Moe takes them all the time!
