Sandfish skinks (Scincus scincus) are highly specialized fossorial lizards, renowned for their distinctive ability to “swim” through desert sands [1, 10]. Classified within the class Reptilia, order Squamata, and family Scincidae, these unique reptiles average 7 inches (18 cm) in total length and weigh about 0.59 ounces (16.6 g) as adults [1, 4, 8]. Their geographic distribution spans the arid regions of North Africa and southwestern Asia, including the Sahara Desert and the Arabian Peninsula [2, 5, 9]. These insectivorous creatures primarily consume beetles and ants, demonstrating sophisticated hunting strategies adapted to their sandy domain [1, 5, 10]. Their primary modes of movement involve undulatory sand-swimming, surface running, and stilting, a behavior used for thermoregulation [1, 4, 8]. They are diurnal, perfectly adapted to extreme desert temperatures, and currently hold a “Least Concern” conservation status [1, 6].
