One of my favorite parts about working in the field is that we get the chance to see lots of wildlife in addition to our study animals. This is a broad headed skink. They eat invertebrates such as insects and worms and even brown anoles or other small reptiles. We found this one hanging out about 4 meters from one of our clay models.
Did the skink attack the clay model?
ReplyDeleteI think the skink attacked the clay model because it was found really close to it

ReplyDeleteCastillo, Alberto
ReplyDeleteDid the Broad headed skink ever interrupted your experiment? Like, did the Broad headed skink ever attack one of your fake anole?
Do you think the color is genetical or random? can you tell wether its a male or female by the color? Is the color of the head like a kind of protection from bigger predetors? you think because of the color they might be more volnurable to predators? Can you bring one back?????
ReplyDeletethats a bad ass lizards i love the colors they all look cool. what do the colors on the lizard mean?
ReplyDeleteDo you think the lizard's color is an advantage or disadvantage to surviving in the environment?
ReplyDeleteare you going to use that one for the experiment?
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Reedy,
ReplyDeleteWhy does the lizard have a red head, why isn't the body also red? Have the lizard attacked the clay models? Did the lizard have a long time to catch and eat the other reptiles?

ReplyDeleteBy any chance, did you find any bite marks from this lizard in the clay model?
ReplyDeleteDoes the red head/dewlap come in handle or becomes a burden in the environment?
ReplyDeleteP.S. - The lizard looks chubby.
How come that lizard doesn't look very much like one? Do you have an idea of why evolution headed that way. I think it looks pretty cool but it looks more like a worm with legs...but i love the red head.
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing how there are so many animals in the world yet we have no knowledge about them.
ReplyDeleteAre skinks related to the brown anoles? It looks like it is not a fast runner.
ReplyDeleteThat lizard looks like a clay model.
ReplyDeleteAnd it also looks fat lol.
How long did it measure?
This lizards looks a lot alike to the model lizards! Did you get to measure and weight it?
ReplyDeleteThat is such a huge lizard. It is so much bigger than the ones we had worked in the classrooms. You should catch more and do an experiment on them. Are all these types of skinks this big or this is one of the biggest in its kind? Are skinks related to salamanders? They somehow look alike.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this can affect the anoles if it was releazed in your research islands?
ReplyDeleteMr. Reedy does the red head help these lizards in something because wouldn't it be easier for them to get spotted?
ReplyDeleteHow could the skink be a predator to the brown anole? How do they attack the brown anole if the brown anoles seem to be much more lean and fast?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes its head red?
ReplyDeleteAre these lizards hard to find? Have you seen more of these?
ReplyDeleteAre those kinds of lizards rare around the island?
ReplyDeletei think the lizard has a red head cause he thinks his cool n being a red head show off
