Skinks

Australia has more skinks than any other country, and there are more skink species in Australia than any other kind of lizard.
They are usually smooth-bodied (exceptions include shingleback and spiny skink).
The scales on their heads are in a mirror-image pattern (hard to see on the little skinks that scamper up walls or dive under the lead litter as walkers approach in a forest, but easier to see on the large skinks such as the blue-tongue) - they share this bilateral symmetry with flap-footed lizards.
Our largest skink is the land mullet, looking like a big black shiny fish out of water, found in the rainforests.

Offline now. Shall we carry on regardless HB?
You got 1?

Sorry Guys,
Got sidetracked last night after the last answer :rolleyes: it's good to see you have carried on regardless :D
I didn't have a good question prepared anyhow and I'm busy today.
No matter, I'll get another go later on.

All good BC. Me thinks HB and myself are a little impatient because we enjoy this game so much :)
Need help with Duck's current question :)
