A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Eutropis multifasciata
A common sight amongst the ground vegetation, often seen scurrying away as you move along the path. Usually with yellow flanks, occasionally orange/red like this one. I have read that this is a sign of a male, but not confirmed.
Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 1000m.
I have seen skinks hunt flies, dragonflies etc. They have most success with crickets and grasshoppers. Frequently seen heavily scarred and occasionally with the tail missing. I have seen rat snakes hunting skinks, also domestic cats. Difficult to approach for close-up photography, but occasionally you get lucky.
