Long-toed skink

The long-toed skink (Oligosoma longipes) is a species of skink of the family Scincidae, endemic to New Zealand.

[2] It is only known from a few sites in the South Island of New Zealand and little is known of its habits.

It seems to prefer dry, rocky habitats, usually eroding stream terraces or scree slopes.

Maximum snout-vent length is about 70 mm.

As of 2012 the Department of Conservation (DOC) classified the long-toed skink as Nationally Vulnerable under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.
