When feeling threatened, he unleashes his secret weapon - a vibrant blue tongue that pops out like a surprise party trick! Not only that, but he also strikes an intimidating pose to appear larger and more formidable. Move over action heroes, we've got ourselves a real superstar here! Captured on the edge of Tanami Desert near Lajamanu in Northern Territory, Australia, this skink is no stranger to harsh environments.
