Ctenotus Pantherinus Calx
''Ctenotus'' is a genus of skinks ( family Scincidae). The genus belongs to a clade in the '' Sphenomorphus'' group which contains such genera as ''Anomalopus'' and the close relatives ''Eulamprus'' and '' Gnypetoscincus''. Lizards in the genus ''Ctenotus'' are commonly called comb-eared skinks, a reference to the scales aligned near the ear. ''Ctenotus'' lizards are able to move very quickly, disappearing whilst being observed. They are highly active in their habits, foraging amongst a diverse range of habitat. The members of the genus ''Ctenotus'' are widely distributed, in all states of Australia, and are especially diverse in arid regions and the tropical north, accounting for 10–20% of the lizard species. Around a quarter of lizards found in one area of the Great Sandy Desert are ''Ctenotus'' skinks, 11 of the 40 species. A single dune may have up to six species of ''Ctenotus''. The Southwest Australian region contains 23 species. The size ranges from very small to mod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ctenotus Robustus
The eastern striped skink (''Ctenotus robustus'') is a species of skink found in a wide variety of habitats around Australia. They are long-tailed, fast moving skinks that are quite large, growing to a maximum length of about 30cm (including the tail which can make up around 2/3 of its length). This skink is mostly brown with a white-edged black stripe running down the length of its back and tail with broad brown stripes along the side of the body with rows of white spots. The sides become lighter, turning into an off-white colour towards the underside of the skink, running from the groin to the chin. The striped skink (''Ctenotus robustus'') is similar in appearance to the spotted-back skink (''Ctenotus uber orientalis'') with the main identifying difference being the solid stripe running down the back of ''C. robustus'' whereas ''C. uber orientalis'' has a row of dots. The eastern striped skink is a wary diurnal skink that typically inhabits mostly open areas with the option of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The University of Western Australia (UWA) is a public research university in the Australian state of Western Australia. The university's main campus is in Perth, the state capital, with a secondary campus in Albany, Western Australia, Albany and various other facilities elsewhere. UWA was established in 1911 by an act of the Parliament of Western Australia and began teaching students two years later.

Because of its age and reputation, UWA is classed one of the "sandstone universities", an informal designation given to the oldest university in each state. The university also belongs to several more formal groupings, including the Group of Eight (Australian universities), Group of Eight and the Matariki Network of Universities. In recent years, UWA has generally been ranked either in the bottom half or just outside the University rankings ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
