@desantis @alice @hype The wider group of Egernia (including blue-tongues, monkeytails, Great Desert skinks and several others) from Oceania is a bit of an outlier among skinks: They grow *a lot* larger than any other skink species, most of whom are tiny.

(Northern blue-tongues like Igor is the second-largest species of skink in the world, second only to the monkeytail skink.)
