EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Danita Delimont, we are introduced to the extraordinary Solomon Island skink, Corucia zebrata. This remarkable creature holds the title for being not only the largest of all skinks but also possessing a truly unique feature - a prehensile tail! With its tail acting as an extra limb, this skink can effortlessly navigate its lush island habitat. But that's not all! The Solomon Island skink is also known for its exceptional parental care towards its large offspring. Picture this: a proud skink parent tenderly nurturing and protecting their young ones with unparalleled dedication. It's like witnessing a reptilian version of "The Lion King"! Sadly, these incredible creatures find themselves in danger due to environmental threats on their native Solomon Islands. As an endangered species, they remind us of the importance of preserving our natural world and safeguarding biodiversity. So let this vibrant print serve as a reminder of nature's wonders and our responsibility to protect them. Admire the intricate patterns on their scales, marvel at their prehensile tails swaying gracefully through branches, and join us in celebrating these rare reptiles that grace our planet with their presence.
