Description
Summary:Selected aspects of the biology of a large scincid lizard, King's skink Egernia kingii, were studied on Penguin Island (32 18'S, 115 42'E) near Perth, Western Australia, from May 1985 to April 1986. The high density of this species (800ha in areas of preferred habitat) was attributed to abundant food and low adult predation rates on the island.
