#3130 - Tiliqua occipitalis - Western Bluetongue

photo by Kelly Sheldrick.

Like the other Bluetongues, a large, stout, not very agile omnivorous skink. This particular Bluetongue is found in the SW quarter of Australia, and parts of South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales. It is listed as "Near Threatened" in Victoria and "Threatened" in NSW. Threats include foxes and cats, habitat loss, and oddly, the destruction of rabbit warrens which are very convinient lairs for the lizards.
