Christmas Island Skink - Print
This is a print of the Christmas Island Blue Tailed Skink, Cryptoblepharus egeriae, which now extinct in the wild.
An Australian reptile, this skink was native to Christmas Island. Its bright blue tail pops off when scared. They are born with dark black bodies with yellow stripes that meet the blue tail. Males lose their yellow stripes and their back turns a brown/black with red under the neck for mating season. Females keep their blue tail for life. They have a snake like head and have the “tongue flicking” action of snakes.
This is part of a series in which portraits were painted of Australian native animals that are disappearing - a tiny selection of the 10,000+ species worldwide that are extinct or facing extinction.
This artwork was originally painted with acrylic on wood by Alicia Rogerson. Her art is bold, vibrant and often inspired by nature.
