 | | Most skinks are small, usually not exceeding 200 mm (8 in) in total length, but a few species are larger, and the Solomon Islands giant skink, Corucia zebrata, may exceed 600 mm (24 in). |
 | | This species is unusual in that it is arboreal and has a prehensile tail. |
 | | Most skinks feed primarily on insects and other arthropods, but some of the larger forms are partially or completely herbivorous (genus Corucia; the Cape Verde skink, Macroscincus cocteay; and the Australian genera Egernia and Tiliqua). |
