Red-eyed crocodile skink (Tribolonotus gracilis)
If it were not for the bright red rims around the eyes, the red-eyed crocodile skink (Latin Tribolonotus gracilis), it would be quite possible to take for a miniature, 18-20 centimeters long, a copy of an ordinary crocodile.

Like its larger counterpart, the red-eyed crocodile skink prefers to live in a marshy area, as close as possible to sources of fresh water.

Tropical thickets are rich in delicious and nutritious food - snails, larvae, crickets, and crocodile skink is not difficult to get yourself food, both on land and in water.
link
His homeland is the humid tropical forests of Indonesia and New Guinea. Convex scales with spines, reminiscent of the armor of ancient animals, further strengthens the similarity of the crocodile and its "pocket" version.

Determine the sex of the red-eyed crocodile skink is quite difficult. The only external difference between the male and the female is the specific pores (skin glands) on the front legs.
link
A red-eyed crocodile skink does not tolerate cold and does not like to be disturbed. If the red-eyed skink is scared, it stiffens, depicting a dead person, and will continue his game, even being in the hands of a person.

It refers to the few species of reptiles that "sing" in a state of stress, issuing sharp quacking sounds. To once again not meet with enemies, crocodile skink prudently hides. Exit from the shelter of it can cause unless the desire to swim, especially during the moult.
When the crocodile skink becomes ill, the orange rims around his eyes turn pale.
