19-5-2019 BUMI HILLS, ZIMBABWE - RAINBOW SKINK (Trachylepis margaritifera)


Rainbow skinks are a diverse group of lizards known for their vibrant coloring, with males often displaying more bright and bold patterns than females. They are native to parts of Africa and Australia, but invasive populations exist elsewhere, and they are often found in habitats like rock crevices, scrub, and savannahs. Key facts include their diet of insects, ability to regenerate a lost tail, and sexual dimorphism (color and size differences between males and females).
