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:
“Amongst the learned the lawyers claim first place, the most self-satisfied class of people, as they roll their rock of Sisyphus and string together six hundred laws in the same breath, no matter whether relevant or not, piling up opinion on opinion and gloss on gloss to make their profession seem the most difficult of all. Anything which causes trouble has special merit in their eyes.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
