The Kermadec skink is a species of lizard found primarily on the Kermadec Islands, which are located northeast of New Zealand. This skink is known for its distinctive coloration, typically featuring a mix of brown and green hues that help it blend into its natural habitat. It is a small to medium-sized lizard, reaching lengths of about 20 to 30 centimeters. These skinks are primarily terrestrial and are often seen basking in the sun or hiding among rocks and vegetation. They feed on a diet of insects and other small invertebrates. The Kermadec skink is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and the introduction of predators, making conservation efforts important for its survival.
