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
