These robust lizards are renowned for their distinctive blue tongues, which they use as a defensive mechanism to startle predators. Their bodies are adorned with smooth, overlapping scales that vary in colour, often displaying a striking combination of brown, tan, and black bands. Blue tongue skinks are omnivorous, consuming a varied diet of insects, fruits, and vegetables.
