Garden skink

Garden skink

This small skink hunts tiny and microscopic creatures. Around the Ecolinc wetland, skinks can feast on the many small adult insects that emerge from the water.

The many Poa grasses are important habitats for skinks.

Skinks often venture onto the boardwalks of the Ecolinc wetland to sun themselves and increase their body temperature.
