When I was last at the Golden Pools of Keawaiki, I encountered this metallic skink skittering along the water’s edge and then clambering up over the lava. I’m always impressed by creatures that live in such a harsh environment.

You are surrounded by the most extraordinary creatures! I love skinks and lizards. I miss them here in Estonia 😦

Is it too chilly for them there or are they just not as easily seen?

It’s not chilly right now, but Estonia is, generally, quite a cold country. So no lizards here….

Interesting golden color, fits well with the metallic – like an animal world version of a scifi movie… skinks on an alien planet… something like that! 😉

They do have a touch of that about them. The sort of creature that David Bowie would have kept as a pet!
