Chesterfield Skinks Report

 

Common name  Chesterfield Skinks

Scientific Name Oligosoma salmon

Status: e.g at risk of extinction:they have a possible chance of living

because there may be less than 200 but there are most likely more than 100

so when they breed obviously more of their kind will be born and as long as no

predators get to them they should be fine because there small and hard to find.

Physical description:A Chesterfield skinks is a small lizard and has a very long tail

there like little snakes with legs they have a bit pattern on them as well most of

them look different to each other by that i mean they have different colours to each other

and they can all blend in with their surroundings

So it makes it harder for predator’s to find them the other reason

being that they are also 56 different species and they live in different areas.

Habitat (Location):west coast, Auckland New Zealand

Diet: it eats a small range of bugs or fruits like spiders, millipedes, crickets, termites, grasshoppers,

caterpillars, beetles, and beetle larvae. They may also consume snails, as well as small vertebrates

including frogs, smaller lizards, and newborn mice,slugs, cockroaches and Most skinks are active

during the day and prefer hanging out on the ground rather than climbing trees.

Reproduction cycle: Skinks give birth to live babies instead of eggs and they also give

birth from 3-4 babies every 2 years

Reasons for species are endangered: habitat loss,predators eating them, and human impact

Conservation measures (what is being done to protect this species):an intensive

and bait network within the fence will protect skinks from the occasional predator incursion.  

Future outlook:they may not go extinct for a while as long as two things happen.

They find more places to hide and reducing numbers of predatory mammals

then the chesterfield skinks should not go extinct for a while.

Fun Facts (Maximum of 3)Skinks live for 2-3 years, Skinks are known as a cryptic species,

There are 56 different species of skinks.

Task discription: Room 2 literacy have been learning about the 10 most endangered animals in New Zealand

and we had to wright a report on them and i picked the chesterfield skink.

We went to Thames which was a 2 hour drive so it took a while a lot of people fell asleep on the bus but when we got there it was pretty cool then we had to get our bags out of the bus and put it in piles then line up in team lines then we got introduced to Zach and Phil. Phil was the owner of the camp and him and his team lived there and the cabins were put on 2 sides the boys side and the girls side. But our first activity was in the gymnasium and we did something called cross games each team went into a corner and we started first working on our chants then we got into activity i forgot which order they went in but i remember one game each team had to go to a line and lay down next to each other first facing opposite ways and one person layed down on the matt and the people laying down had to pull the other person to the end and the first team there won after that we did it again but instead we had to go there and back it was fun but one team got stuck far behind and then every team participated in helping and we also did an activity were we lined up in three lines the lightest people in the middle and 2 strong and fast people on both side then we had to jump on this thin matt and the people on te side of us dragged us around 4 tires and then when we made it to the end we hopped off and let the next person go. camp was fun and very exciting.
