Five-lined Skink

Image Details
Point Pelee National Park is home to some of Canada's rarest wildlife. I have often seen glimpses of skinks, but this is the first time I've ever been able to get an image of one. The Five-lined Skink is Ontario's only lizard and is rare enough to be listed as "special concern" in Ontario by COSEWIC.

Wonderful capture of the Skink. I love photos of rare species, and a good closeup.

Did not know we had lizards in Ontario. An excellent image showing the whole animal.

I have visited Point Pelee many time, I did not see any such creatures - not that I was looking for them. But as a rare find this is a wounderful image of the skink.

Never heard of it but then there are a lot of nature that we are not familiar with. This one is a great capture and very descriptive of the specie. Good to even spot one in the park. I like the natural tones and the clarity with the natural setting.
