There are four threatened skinks that barely anyone sees, despite living in one of Australia's most popular regions for hikers, skiers and mountain-bike riders. The Guthega skink (Liopholis guthega), alpine-she oak skink (Cyclodomorphus praealtus), mountain skink (Liopholis montana) and alpine bog skink (Pseudemoia cryodroma) are the ‘coldest of the cold-blooded’. Found at high altitudes in Australia’s alpine/sub-alpine regions and nowhere else on Earth, these chilled-out creatures are incredibl

Cunningham's Skinks: 1. Social Lizards: Unlike many reptiles, Cunningham's skinks are social and live in family groups, often sharing crevices in rocks and even defending their territory together. 2. Spiny Protection: They have spiny, keeled scales that help deter predators. When threatened, they’ll wedge themselves into rock crevices and puff up to make it difficult for anything to pull them out. 3. Long Lifespan: These skinks can live for more than 20 years in the wild and in captivity — quite

🦎 Big steps forward for the Nangur Spiny Skink! The end of 2025 marked a major milestone for one of Australia’s most endangered reptiles. Ten Nangur Spiny Skinks were carefully translocated from Oakview National Park to strengthen a new population in Wratten’s NP, to reduce inbreeding and build long-term resilience. Even better! Monitoring has already confirmed young skinks born from natural breeding at the site earlier this year. With captive breeding pairs established for the coming season, p

🎃 From pumpkins to pythons! 🐍 The Woma python and skinks here at Adelaide Zoo have been getting into the Halloween spirit with some gourd-geous enrichment! Hosmer’s spiny skinks, also known as Western Spiny-tailed Skinks, are small, rock-dwelling lizards found in northern Australia. When threatened, they wedge themselves into rock crevices and puff up their spiny bodies so predators can’t pull them out! Woma pythons are non-venomous snakes found across Australia’s arid regions, where they play
