Diet

Corucia zebrata alfredschmidti primarily relies on leafy vegetation for nourishment, utilizing a hindgut fermenting system to extract nutrients. This species exhibits a preference for the leaves of tropical vines and shrubs, but also consumes fruits as a dietary supplement.

Appearance

Corucia zebrata alfredschmidti is a medium-size skink with a bulky, cylindrical body shape. Its skin is rough, covered in tiny, granular scales. The creature displays an eye-catching mix of dark and light grey coloration, resembling a zebra's stripes—giving it its common name. Their prehensile tail, often as long as the body, is used for climbing and balance. Both genders share similar size and color, with no significant variation due to age or subspecies.

Behavior

Highly arboreal, corucia zebrata alfredschmidti spends most of its time in trees, achieving adept movement through a prehensile tail. Unique for reptiles, corucia zebrata alfredschmidti shows social behavior with communal basking and even cohabitation. Notably, corucia zebrata alfredschmidti females are visually distinctive when gravid, becoming seclusive until hatching. Predominantly nocturnal, it primarily feeds on broad leaves at night.
