      Did you know: there’s a mathematical formula that uses the length of a skinks toes and the length of its tail to determine how arboreal the species is?

      Also, skinks wanna be your friend!

          Skinks are a social reptile! Unlike more solitary species, skinks can and do congregate.

          Often for quinceañeras!

              Regretfully I only have two skink facts. If you’d like, I can start making them up? Or replacing real facts with skinks?

              Did you know the Ancient Egyptians worshiped skinks (crocodiles) for the way they protect their young? And the temple in Skinkodopolis, priests would bejewel these skinks, and mummify them along with pets and servants.

                I want to believe these are real, because what a world we would live in if they were!

      Scientists have not conclusively determined which species of skink is the cutest. But it’s this one.
