The copper skink
This report will show you what a copper skink looks like
its habitat and haw it defends and attacks.
The copper skink grows to about 22cm long.
The copper skink looks long and
skinny with stripes .It’s also got long bony legs with wide feet similar to a
human’s hand. It’s got a short body but it’s got a very long tail. If you don’t
see its legs you might mistake it for a snake.
The copper skink will be found on
both islands of New Zealand. They are normally found under long grass and hiding
in the shade under something. And yes they can drop there tail and can easily
camouflage in long grass with their stripes.
The copper skinks defence is to
drop its tail so the if predator came to attack it would go for the tail and be
fooled by the skink. And it can attack with its claws.
