skink
Smooth-scaled reptile
A skink is a type of lizard with a long body, short legs, and smooth, shiny scales.
Skinks form one of the largest lizard families, found worldwide in warm climates.
Many species have reduced limbs or none at all, giving them a snake-like appearance.
A skink darted across the patio and disappeared into the mulch.
