I love how some skinks have such tiny, little legs.

How fast can that thing even move? How does it avoid becoming somebody's dinner?

They don't have many predators. I guess wedgetailed eagles may have a go, and feral cats may mess around with them, but both would prefer to eat rodents or rabbits, so the stumpies get a pass.
