Blue-tongued skinks, meanwhile, seem to display their extraordinary tongues defensively, dazing predators and robbing their aerial attacks of momentum.

与此同时，蓝舌石龙子似乎是为了防御而展示它们异乎寻常的舌头，使捕食者眼花缭乱，丧失空中攻击动力。

I talked to turtles, lizards, snakes, frogs, toads, and a couple of skinks.

They include a variety of lizards, like members of the groups that today include skinks and maybe geckos.

Small in size, the guthega skink is covered in camouflage skin to blend in with the alpine rocks they call home.

古塞加石龙子个体较小，身披伪装鳞片，安家于高山石块间，其颜色与岩石混为一体。

" What in the hell is a 'cullen skink'? " Alex asks once she's hung up.

“‘库伦石龙子’到底是什么？”她挂断电话后，亚历克斯问道。

Bea sighs. " D'you think I should have let him have a go at the cullen skink man for me? "

Then, by the middle of the Cretaceous, there were hundreds of species that belonged to the modern families of lizards - iguanas, geckos, skinks, varanids, and helodermatids or beaded lizards.

然后，到白垩纪中期，出现了数百种属于现代蜥蜴科的物种——鬣蜥、壁虎、石龙子、巨蜥、蜥蜴科或珠蜥。

Just a few years ago, scientists even discovered three new unique species of vertebrates there: a golden skink, a leaf-tail gecko, and a frog that likes to come out in the rain.

就在几年前，科学家们甚至在那里发现了三种新的独特脊椎动物：金石龙、叶尾壁虎和喜欢在雨中出来的青蛙。
