The skink
It was first described by S.Blair Hedges ug Conn in 2012.
Skinks are smooth-scaled lizards, often with reduced limbs in burrowing forms. Most eat insects and other small invertebrates.
Range and habitat
Roatán Skink, the Honduran skink or Roatán skink, is a skink found on Roatán in Honduras.
GBIF currently lists 135 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Diet
Most skinks forage in leaf litter or under cover. Burrowing species slip through sand or soil more than they climb.
In crisis
