This is your daily reminder that friends come in all shapes, sizes and snout lengths. This summer, bring your BFF to the Zoo and stop by Range of the Jaguar to see Theo, our female capybara, and Fernando, our male anteater!💙 | Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Meet the wedge snouted skink a true desert specialist! 🏜️🦎 With a streamlined body, reduced limbs, and a shovel-like snout, this skink is built for “sand swimming.” It glides through loose dunes to escape predators and extreme heat, spending much of its life beneath the surface. Adapted for survival in harsh desert environments, it’s a perfect example of how evolution shapes reptiles to thrive where few others can. . . . #reptiles #howto #herpetology | LLLReptile & Supply
