Nevis skink

The Nevis skink (Oligosoma toka) is a nationally vulnerable species of skink native to New Zealand.

[2] It is named in honour of the location of its habitat, the Nevis valley.

[3] As of 2012 the Department of Conservation (DOC) classified the Nevis skink as Nationally Vulnerable under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.

[2] The Nevis skink can be mistaken for the more common northern grass skink (Oligosoma polychroma), though tends to have a heavier body build and a less-streamlined head.
