Blue-tongued skinks comprise the Australasian genus Tiliqua, which contains some of the largest members of the skink family (Scincidae). They are commonly called blue-tongued lizards or simply blue-tongues or blueys in Australia. As suggested by these common names, a prominent characteristic of the genus is a large blue tongue that can be bared as bluff-warning to potential enemies. The type of predator/threat that is near will determine the intensity of colour present in the tongue. In addition, their blue tongue will produce a response in the prey which will in turn diminish the attack. The tongue can also deform itself and produce a thick mucus in order to catch prey. They are relatively shy in comparison with other lizards, and also significantly slower due to their shorter legs.

  • Tiliqua és un gènere de sauròpsids (rèptils) de la família dels escíncids. És molt proper als gèneres i . Totes les espècies viuen al continent australià, tret de T. gigas, que es troba a Nova Guinea i diverses illes d'Indonèsia. Una subespècie de T. scincoides també viu en diverses illes indonèsies petites situades entre Austràlia i Nova Guinea. T. nigrolutea és l'única espècie present a Tasmània. A part de T. adelaidensis, les espècies d'aquest gènere són llangardaixos relativament grans (de fins a 45 cm de llargada), de constitució lleugera i amb potes curtes. (ca)

  • Blauwtongskinken (Tiliqua) zijn een geslacht van hagedissen uit de familie skinken (Scincidae). De meeste soorten worden met een lengte vanaf ongeveer dertig centimeter vrij groot. Blauwtongskinken hebben een gedrongen lichaam met korte poten en een relatief korte staart. Ze bezitten een zware bepantsering van dikke, gladde schubben. Er zijn zeven verschillende soorten die hun Nederlandse naam danken aan de kobaltblauwe tong. De rest van het lichaam is echter onopvallend gekleurd; de lichaamskleur varieert van bruin tot grijs, vaak is een patroon van vlekken of strepen aanwezig. (nl)
