Mona Vale Headland Blue-tongue

.






Blue-tongues:

Blue-tongued skinks comprise the Australasian genus, Tiliqua, which contains 
some of the largest members of the skink family (Scincidae). They are commonly 
called blue-tongued lizards or simply blue-tongues in Australia. As suggested by 
these common names, a prominent characteristic of the genus is a large blue 
tongue that can be bared as a bluff-warning to potential enemies.
