The Blue-Tongued Skink can be found in grasslands, deserts and woodlands of Australia. It is 23.5 inches long, it has small legs and a short tail, which can regenerate. When attacked or threatened, it shoots forth its distinctive blue tongue, swells its body and warns the enemy by hissing sounds. Blue-Tongued Skinks are omnivorous, and they live 20 years. They spend night time under fallen leaves, logs and so forth.
