Bougainville's skink (Lerista bougainvillii) is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae.[1] This species is also commonly called the south-eastern slider[2][3] and Bougainville's lerista.[3]
Etymology
The specific name, bougainvillii, and the common names, Bougainville's skink and Bougainville's lerista, are in honour of French naval officer Hyacinthe de Bougainville.[3]
Geographic range
L. bougainvillii is found in south-eastern Australia, including north-eastern Tasmania and many Bass Strait islands.[1]
Description
Bougainville's skink has very reduced limbs and moves in a snake-like manner.[1]
Habitat
The preferred natural habitats of L. bougainvillii are forest and shrubland.[4] However, it is seldom seen, as much of its life is spent beneath leaf-litter, loose sand, and thin stone slabs.[1][5]
Reproduction
The mode of reproduction of L. bougainvillii varies. Some populations are oviparous, but other populations are viviparous.[4][2]
