Techmarscincus jigurru

The Bartle Frere skink (Techmarscincus jigurru) is a rare and endangered skink lizard first discovered in 1981.[1] This skink is agile and energetic. It has a rainbow sheen color. Their bodies are long and flat with short limbs and a very long tail. The Bartle Frere is only seen out and basking during the day. A night, the skink retreats back into the cracks in the exposed granite. The Bartle Frere skink tolerates juveniles in the same area, as most skinks do not.

Habitat :

The Bartle Frere are usually found above 1400 m on the slopes of Queensland's highest mountains (e.g., Mount Bartle Frere). They spend most of their time on top of exposed granite boulders. The climate is of a temperate rain forest.[2]
