Mangrove Skink
Emoia atrocostata
Tide Pool Skink
These handsome shiny bronzey lizards are active during the day and can often be spotted sunning themselves on a hot day on branches or mud lobster mounds. When alarmed, they quickly slip away. Skinks belong to the lizard family but unlike lizards, are covered with smooth, overlapping scales, and don't have obvious necks. However, like some other lizards, skinks drop their tails to distract predators (autotomy), and can regrow them. The new tail, however, is not as nice and is supported by cartilage instead of bone. Mangrove and wetland wildlife at Sungei Buloh Nature Park Main features: Relatively slender, small (26cm), large scales, long limbs. Emoia skinks have a moveable lower eyelid which is clear.

http://kaweahoaks.com/html/skinks.htm
skink female skink male skink immature Skinks Typically, skinks have smooth, shiny, overlapping scales and elongate, cylindrical bodies. Their heads are cone shaped. Femoral pores are absent. The pupil is round, and many species have a large, transparent scale on the lower eyelid that enables them to see even when the lid is closed. In most species the tapering tail is easily broken but can be regenerated. Skinks are generally alert and active diurnal lizards but tend to be secretive, spending much time foraging under leaf litter. Most skinks are small, usually not exceeding 200 mm (8 in) in total length, but a few species are larger, and the Solomon Islands giant skink, Corucia zebrata, may exceed 600 mm (24 in). This species is unusual in that it is arboreal and has a prehensile tail. Skinks are most frequently striped but may be banded, spotted, or uniformly colored. Males of many species develop broad heads, presumably used in fighting during the breeding season. RANGE
The skinks, with about 75 genera and 600 species, are one of the two largest lizard families. They are widespread and are particularly abundant in the great forests of Africa and Indoaustralia. The five-lined skink is a small striped lizard found in the wooded areas of the southeastern United States.

Northern Prairie Skink
Eumeces septentrionalis by Jeff LeClere Status No status assigned in Minnesota. Description The prairie skink reaches lengths of 5 1/4 to 8 3/4 inches, total length (Conant and Collins 1991). The body scales are smooth and uniform giving the lizard a shiny appearance. Adults are tan or brown on the back, becoming darker on the sides. There are two very thin white stripes on the sides. The back may be unmarked except for two very thin, interrupted black stripes or two large black stripes that are as wide as the spaces between them. The head is unmarked. The males develop a bright orange coloration on the labial scales during the breeding season. Young have bright blue tails that fade as they become adults. Subspecies The subspecies of prairie skink in Minnesota is the northern prairie skink, Eumeces septentrionalis septentrionalis, (Oldfield and Moriarty, 1994). Range The prairie skink has the largest Minnesota range of all three lizard species. The only areas lacking records are the northeastern and southeastern counties.

Eumeces obsoletus
by Jeff LeClere
Kansas specimen Key to Similar Species Status Great plains skinks are listed as endangered species in Iowa due to their restricted range. Description The great plains skink reaches nearly 14 inches total length (Conant and Collins 1991). Scalation appears same as in the other skinks; smooth, but the lateral scales are arranged in uneven, oblique rows. The other two skinks have uniform lateral scale rows. Great plains skinks also look different than the other two skink species. Adults are brown or black with a gold or light colored dot on each scale. This coloration often takes over to produce a gold or tan lizard with black dots. The dark dots are sometimes arranged in such a way as to give the appearance of dark stripes, but these are not clean cut. These lizards are much larger than the other two Iowa skink species. Young are black with white dots on the lips, head and neck. The tail is bluish. Some specimens may have bright blue tails, but it may be difficult to see in others. They are about 2 1/2 inches at hatching. Subspecies There are no recognized subspecies of the great plains skink, Eumeces obsoletus.

49. Broadhead Skink
Like many other lizards, broadhead skinks will break off their tails whenrestrained, distracting the predator and allowing the lizard to escape.

Eumeces laticpes Description: 6 - 13 in (15 - 33 cm). Broadhead skinks are the largest skink in the southeast, and with the exception of the glass lizards, are the largest lizards in our region. These large lizards have short legs and a streamlined body. The body is generally gray, brown, or black, in background color with five white or yellowish stripes (two on each side and one down the center of the back). However, adults often fade to uniform gray or brown, and mature males develop enlarged orange heads with powerful jaws. Like other skinks, the young have a bright blue tails and prominent stripes. Although adult male broadhead skinks are unmistakable, females and immature lizards are very similar in appearance to five-lined and southeastern five-lined skinks. Thus, small skinks are best identified by close examination of the scales: broadhead skinks have an enlarged row of scales under the tail and five labial (along the upper lip between the nose and eye) scales.

Eumeces inexpectatus Description: 5 - 8.5 in (12.5 - 21.5 cm). Southeastern five-lined skinks are moderately large lizards with short legs and a streamlined body. The body is generally gray, brown, or black, in background color with five white or yellowish stripes (two on each side and one down the center of the back). Young have a bright blue tail while adult males' stripes may fade and a reddish or orange coloration may develop on the head. This species is very similar in appearance to the five-lined skink and broadhead skink and is usually only identifiable by close examination of the scales: unlike the other two species, southeastern five-lined skinks do not have an enlarged row of scales under the tail . Additionally, broadhead skinks are usually larger and five-lined skink usually inhabit moister habitats.

Eumeces fasciatus T H R E A T E N E D
T H R E A T E N E D Habitat:
Steep, rocky areas, with patchy tree and shrub cover, rotten logs and leaf litter, that are usually adjacent to moist deciduous forests.
Weight: 0.1-0.35 ounces.
Length: 5-8.5 inches. Life Expectancy: At least 6 years of age.
Food: Insects (crickets, flies, grasshoppers, grubs, beetles, ants), snails, and spiders.
Status: State threatened. Identification: Five-lined skinks are smooth, shiny lizards with rows of tiny scales around the center of their body. The coloration is highly variable, depending on the age and sex of the skink. Young skinks have five white or yellowish stripes on a blackish body and a bright blue tail. As the skinks grow older and larger, the pattern becomes less conspicuous; the stripes darken, the black body lightens, and the tail turns gray. Females usually retain some of the striped pattern; the broad dark band along the side of the body remains prominent. Adult males usually show traces of stripes, but tend to become nearly uniform brown or olive in coloration. Orange-red appears on the head and jaws of the males during the spring breeding season.

Special Exhibit! Ferocious Crocs
Back to Blizzard of Lizards Blotched Blue-Tongued Lizard Tiliqua nigrolutea
Order: Squamata
Family: Scincidae
I. GEOGRAPHIC RANGE
  • The blotched blue-tongued lizard resides in southern parts of the Australian state of New South Wales and a smidgeon of the neighboring state of South Australia. It is restricted to the highland areas between the Victorian border and the Blue Mountains. It also occurs on Tasmania and the islands of the Bass Strait.
II. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
  • Mass: 300 to 450 g.
  • The appearance of the blotched blue-tongued lizard is hinted in its scientific name: Tiliqua nigrolutea . Nigro and lutea mean black and yellow respectively. Indeed, this lizard is usually dark brown or black with yellow, cream or pink blotches on it.
  • Although the blue-tongued lizards are the largest members of the skink family, many of their characteristics differ from that of an average skink. First of all, they have an unusual body shape with a stout torso, short limbs and a thick, short tail. Furthermore, unlike smaller skinks, blue-tongued lizards rarely lose their tails.
  • There are also differences between the males and females of the species. The males have a proportionally bigger head and a more heavyset body. This is due to the shape of the two hemipenes (the male copulatory organs.) Females are longer in length (27-30 cm to the males' 25-27 cm). Because of this, the females are greater in mass weighing between 350-450 g while males stay within the 300-350 g range.

When on green vegetation or light background, tend to be green; when on bark or dark background, tend to be brown. When temperatures are around 70 or higher, tend to stay green; when in 60's are lower, tend to be brown. When males display for territory or females, turn bright green; when males fight, the winner turns bright green and the loser turns brown.
