Blue-Tongued Skink
A blue-tongued skink displays its strikingly colored tongue. Skinks, which are found throughout the tropics and the warmer parts of the world’s temperate regions, are the most numerous type of lizard. The blue-tongued skink extends its tongue to frighten predatory birds and mammals.
