Leiolepisma Telfairi is a large terrestrial lizard from the skink family. It lives only on Round Island near Mauritius and feeds on both plants and small animals.
Leiolepisma Telfairi differs from other skinks by its large body size and ability to live on small islands. The species was nearly extinct, but breeding programs helped save it. It is important for the island's nature as it disperses plant seeds and controls insect populations.
