Skink
A Prehensile-tailed Skink (aka: Solomon Island Skink, Monkey-tailed Skink), is the largest known arboreal skink. The skink is one of a few species of reptiles to live in a social group, or circulus.

California Desert Tortoise
The desert tortoise is one of the most elusive inhabitants of the desert, spending up to 95% of its life underground. The desert tortoise lives in a variety of habitats. California’s state reptile is the desert tortoise. Once common throughout the Mojave and Sonoran desert of California, Nevada, and Arizona, desert tortoise populations have declined by an estimated 90 percent in the last 20 years. As the human population in these areas increases, the tortoise population has decreased.
