Hi All,
Herpetologists studying Australia’s Delicate Skink (Lampropholis delicata) discovered, quite by accident, that this species’ embryos somehow sense danger when their eggs are disturbed. In response, the tiny lizards erupt en masse – even if they are not quite ready to hatch! Also...
There are 1,200+ skinks, including some that dive into streams, live in extended family groups, have evolved placentas, and so on; http://bitly.com/ROYPCQ
