Todayâs animal is the Solomon Islands skink. It is, as the name suggests, found in Solomon Islands, a group of tropical islands in the Pacific Ocean. My first question when researching this animal was: whatâs a skink? Iâd heard of them before and thought they were kind of like salamanders and newts. Turns out I was dead wrong. Skinks are reptiles, not amphibians, and are a family of lizards. Good to know! The Solomon Islands skink, in fact, is the largest known species of skink. It can grow up to 32 inches (including its tail). The tail of the skink is very important to this species, which spends most of its time in trees. Its long and flexible tail is used while climbing around the tree tops in search for food.
