Skink
Scinella lateralis
31.1085, -97.4978
Field Notes
Description:
Adult ground skinks (scientifically known as Scinella lateralis) are 3 to 5.5 inches in length, are rather plump with a long thin tail, very short legs, gold-brown to blackish-brown back, pale belly, and a close look will reveal a dark stripe along each side.
Habitat:
Wildlife habitat yard on Belton Lake.
Notes:
I kept hearing something rustling under the leaves. After searching awhile, I spotted this little fellow, but it moved so fast this was the only shot I got.
The leaves kept bouncing from time to time where it vanished beneath them, but it never did reappear.
