Easily the largest lizard family in numbers, species, and range, skinks occur everywhere a lizard can, except in the sea. Skinks are unique among lizards in having a secondary palate. Osteoderms are present. Frontal bones distinct except in the Feylininae; this subfamily (often considered a full family, Feyliniidae) also lacks the jugal bone and is viviparous or oviparous. Skinks have movable eyelids, except for Ablepharis, which has a clear spectacle. In addition, the lizards formerly classified as the full family Feyliniidae are now included in the Scincidae by most herpetologists; this group includes forms lacking both functional eyes and eyelids. Ear openings are usually present, as is the power of autotomy. The scales are usually smooth.

Probably the most problematic genus has been Lygosoma practically world wide in distribution and having all stages of limb development. The genus Eumeces in common in the United States and the golden Great Plains skink, E. obsoleta , a foot long lizard in the central states. Australia’s Trachydosaurus rugosus looks like an animated version of pine cones, having large scales and a tail resembling the head. The family giant is Corucia zebtra , a two foot long tree dweller of the Solomon Islands.

Skinks are active , almost nervous lizards. They hide under large boulders , or in other inaccessible spots but sometimes , if not often, take to hilly wood slides. They can be said to be mainly insectivorous but many also eat or consume plants.
