Wright's skink is a lizard from the skink family. It lives only on the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean and has smooth shiny scales.
Wright's skink differs from related species by its limited distribution on the Seychelles islands and smooth scales without strong ridges. It helps maintain balance in nature by eating insects.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
