The two skink species are abundant in both areas.
Although not as pronounced as the relationship with soil type, reptile richness declined down the rainfall gradient, a pattern most evident for skinks and, less so, varanids.
The most striking feature of reptile patterning was the low species richness (but not total abundance) on clay soils, a pattern determined largely by variation for skinks and agamids.
The diverse lizards include three genera of skinks and two anguimorphs which range in habit from a small worm-like, probably burrowing, skink to a large predatory monitor.
A chameleon, a green lizard, and a sand skink eagerly consumed the flies, whereas a thrush and a great spotted woodpecker did not.
This skink is an omnivore; it eats snails and plants and spends much of its time browsing through vegetation for food.
A number of species of terrestrial lizards were also present, including whiptails, skinks, monitors and alligator lizards.
This very important area also contains marsupial mole, woma python, or kuniya, and great desert skink.
