Have you ever seen our blue-tongued skinks show off their amazing defense mechanism? When feeling threatened, blue-tongued skinks will hiss, puff up, and flash that brilliant blue tongue to startle predators. That striking color can also signal that they might be an unpleasant snack! Want to see this unique adaptation in person? Visit the Earth Discovery Center at Southwick's Zoo any day to learn more about these remarkable reptiles! (fb)
