Bronze-backed climbing skink

Description:

Mabuya is a genus of long-tailed skinks restricted to species from the Americas. The American mabuyas are primarily carnivorous, though many are omnivorous. Formerly, many Old World species were placed here, as Mabuya was a kind of "wastebasket taxon". These are now placed in the genera Chioninia, Eutropis, and Trachylepis. The ancestors of the genus are believed to have rafted across the Atlantic from Africa during the last 9 million years. (information from Wikipedia)
