A skink is a member of a large family of lizards with a distinct cylindrical body and short, stubby legs. Skinks can be found widely distributed throughout the world in tropical to temperate zones, and they are incredibly diverse. Their family, Scincidae, contains over one thousand species, some of which are considered rare and endangered, while others are quite abundant and well known in the regions that they inhabit.
Todayâs animal is the Solomon Islands skink. It is, as the name suggests, found in Solomon Islands, a group of tropical islands in the Pacific Ocean. My first question when researching this animal was: whatâs a skink? Iâd heard of them before and thought they were kind of like salamanders and newts. Turns out I was dead wrong. Skinks are reptiles, not amphibians, and are a family of lizards. Good to know! The Solomon Islands skink, in fact, is the largest known species of skink. It can grow up to 32 inches (including its tail). The tail of the skink is very important to this species, which spends most of its time in trees. Its long and flexible tail is used while climbing around the tree tops in search for food.
