Leiolopisma telfairii
''Leiolopisma telfairii'', the Round Island skink or Telfair's skink, is a species of skink native to Round Island, one of the islands of Mauritius. Other members of the genus ''Leiolopisma'' occur on New Caledonia and New Zealand but the Round Island skink is closely related to the two extinct Mascarenes taxa, ''L. mauritiana'' from Mauritius and ''L. ceciliae'' from Réunion. It is named after Charles Edward Telfair, the founder of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of Mauritius.
==Description==
It reaches a length between . The body is general brownish grey mottled with dark brown spots. The small scales exhibit an iridescence when the sunlight is reflected on them. The body is approximately cylindrical. It can cast its relatively long tail during a fight or to escape capture; the tail is regenerated after a while. Their short but vigorous legs are used to dig burrows.
