Legless Burrowing Skinks are a diverse group of 22 species characterized by their legless, subterranean lifestyle and distinctive body form, featuring a large rostral scale, shiny overlapping scales, and no external ear openings.
Legless Skinks are found in various habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and forests. They eat invertebrates like earthworms and termites. Some species, like the Giant Legless Skink, eat small reptiles and frogs. They often escape by burying themselves in sand or soil.

Toad Tree 🌳 A fascinating plant!
Here are some more interesting facts about Tabernaemontana elegans, also known as the Warty Toad-Tree or Paddaboom:
USES
Stock: Leaves are browsed by cattle.
Wild: Attracts bees and birds.
Human: Roots used for chest problems. The orange fruit pulp is considered to be edible and is also used to curdle milk; dry, shriveled and gaping fruit resembles a toad’s head. Latex is rubber-like and of inferior quality; it is used to stop bleeding and reported to be useful as bird-lime; coagulated latex is used to stop bleeding in small cuts.
