}}Bougainville's skink (Lerista bougainvillii ) is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae.[2] This species is also commonly called the south-eastern slider.[1][4]

Etymology

Both the specific name, bougainvillii, and the common name, Bougainville's skink, are in honor of French naval officer Hyacinthe de Bougainville.[2]

Geographic range

L. bougainvillii is found in south-eastern Australia, including north-eastern Tasmania and many Bass Strait islands.[2]

Description

Bougainville's skink has very reduced limbs and moves in a snake-like manner.[2]

Habitat

L. bougainvillii is seldom seen as much of its life is spent beneath leaf-litter, loose sand, and thin stone slabs.[3][4]
