Four Interesting  Facts  About Common Skinks.


A Common Skink has a body that is eight cm long and its patterning and colours are variable; as some are very bold and some are so faint that you can hardly see them! Common Skinks reach mating age at four years and have five to six young each year. The predators of  a Common Skink in someone's garden could be one of these: rats, mice, dogs or cats. Predators in the wild would probably be rats, mice, hedgehogs, cats, stoats, ferrets and kingfishers. Many species of skinks are endangered and that is why everyone needs to help and make an impact so we can save the Skink species!
