We are getting up close and personal with a special species at the Zoo: the prehensile-tail skink! Say hi to this unique lizard the next time you visit the Herpetarium. Skinks are lizards in the Scincidae family, which they share with over 1,500 skink species. There are more lizards in the skink family than any other lizard family! Prehensile-tailed skinks are endemic to the Solomon Islands, an archipelago located northeast of Australia. | Saint Louis Zoo

They can use their nails and prehensile tails to climb around with ease, as you can see here. Ursula seems to be making use of her sky tube!  : Maddie, Animal Keeper / Merchandise Coordinator #lubee #nonprofit #florida #cute #lubeebatconservancy #animals | Lubee Bat Conservancy | Facebook
