=Striped Skinks=

A striped skink are New Zealand native lizard. They are a part of the reptile family and really rare. They are really fast as thay scatter across the ground.
Striped skinks can give birth to eight young a year in litter. The life span is quite long if you think about it 20 years if not theatened. They eat mainly insects and soft fruit the diet is still widley unowen in the wild. Striped skinks live in a wide variaty if places including lowland forest farmland centeral and northen northisland.

Since a striped skink are like lizards they have some of the same stuff as lizards with a slippery smooth and scaily body. They have a streamed lined body with legs they are black with a white creamy coulered stripe through the middle if them. they are about 10cm long they have four short legs that thay scater across they groud quickly on. they have a defence mechanisem which they have and it is when they tail drops off which help when a bird tries to catch them the tail falls off so they only get the tail.

I think that stiped skinks are very interesting try to catch one and find more about it but remember they tail might fall off.
