Cats and dogs are also predators of skinks (Fitch, 1954; Oldham and Weller, 2000; B. Howes, pers. obs.). Cooper (1990) showed that individuals of E. laticeps can distinguish between predator and prey odours, and that they can also distinguish between odours of snake species that do and do not prey on them.
Prédateurs Parmi les prédateurs connus de l’E. fasciatus se trouvent les ratons laveurs, les faucons, les renards, les visons, les belettes, les putois, les opossums, les tatous, les serpents, les taupes et les musaraignes.
