The Bermuda Skink or Rock Lizard (Plestiodon longirostris, formerly Eumeces longirostris) is the only endemic terrestrial vertebrate animal of the Bermudas (ignoring marine turtles and the terrapins found in brackish ponds ). It is a relatively large skink (a kind of lizard): adults reach an average snout-to-vent length of about 8 cm (a bit more than 3 inches).

Famous quotes containing the word rock:
“Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we should stop and drink
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
