Description

May 30th, 2022 4:00PM

High of 87 degrees Fahrenheit

Low of 68 degrees Fahrenheit

86 degrees Fahrenheit at capture

On a sunny and somewhat breezy day, this small adult male skink was observed swimming across the Meramec River. As I walked through a shallow riffle with my daughter, I noticed the lizard slowly making it's way through the fast current. Upon capture it attempted to bite and hide in the detritus along the rocky shore.
