What Is This Reptile Called In English? (Photo) by curiouses: 10:48am On Apr 15, 2015 |
Please help with the English name of this reptile. I know it to be Alasunbere in Yoruba. I have searched for the name in English but to no avail. The website with info about it claimed that it's a newly discovered species of lizard fighting to survive among the sand dunes outside Perth in Western Australia. Meanwhile it's so common here in Western Nigeria. I don't know if this should be posted in education or pet section. Mod please help move it to appropriate section. |

curiouses: There are well over 1500 species of skinks all over the world, maybe the one native to Aussies is a specie never seen before. As you know Aussies, take their wildlife seriously.. You usually find them basking in the sun on sandy roads in Nigeria.. |

See the one killed by one of our workers this evening. Fears gripped me as I have never seen a creature like that though I do see the smal ones at school.
