Please help with the English name of this reptile. I know it to be Alasunbere in Yoruba. I have searched for the name in English but to no avail. The website with info about it claimed that it's a newly discovered species of lizard fighting to survive among the sand dunes outside Perth in Western Australia. Meanwhile it's so common here in Western Nigeria.

There are well over 1500 species of skinks all over the world, maybe the one native to Aussies is a specie never seen before. As you know Aussies, take their wildlife seriously..

You usually find them basking in the sun on sandy roads in Nigeria..

See the one killed by one of our workers this evening. Fears gripped me as I have never seen a creature like that though I do see the smal ones at school.
