The Solomon Islands #skink Corucia zebrata , also affectionately known as the monkey-tailed skink.
They have prehensile tails like #monkeys.
They are the largest species of skink alive with a long, slender body poised elegantly on short, yet robust legs. Their head forms a perfect triangle, housing small, beady and curious looking eyes. This magnificent #reptile is now threatened due to rainforest destruction of their home #globalmuseum #animals #reptiles

Another creature I'm very fond of for today's #Weretober, the alligator snapping turtle.
They'll eat almost anything - but it turns out they're especially fond of, well... turtles.

Anyhow, the sunda gharial is a freshwater crocodilian and it is awesome.

We were sitting watching some turtles and fish swim about, all mellow and chilled, when we noticed some large legs in the distance. How can we not have seen them before? We move our heads up above the surface of the water, and are suddenly troubled.
