Red-eyed crocodile skink — size comparison — facts and sources

The red-eyed crocodile skink comes from New Guinea’s damp forest floor. Rows of pointed dorsal scales resemble small armour plates. A dark body contrasts with orange-red eye rings and a much paler underside.

Most time is spent among leaves, roots and other cover. Secretive and most active at dusk, it collects insects, larvae and other small invertebrates near the ground.

Females lay a single egg and may guard it beneath their bodies. Disturbed animals can also make audible sounds.
