Description
Close up of the skinks on top of each other, I don't know if that is showing affection or being protective, or whether they need to get a room !! :)
Cunningham’s skink is a large, prickly lizard usually around 25-30cm in length. These lizards live in close family groups and they even go to toilet at the same place !!!
The family will have a distinct territory which they defend against other intruding skinks.
The adult Cunningham’s skink is mainly vegetarian, consuming flowers, berries and young green shoots and leaves. Juveniles, on the other hand, are mostly insect eaters.
The species is named in honor of Alan Cunningham; explorer and botanist, who collected the first specimen in the Blue Mountains.
This picture was taken at Wildlife Sanctuary at Darling Harbour behind glass !
