The eastern three-lined skink (Bassiana duperreyi ), also known as the bold-striped cool-skink, is a species of skink in the Scincidae family. It is found in south-eastern Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria),[1] and several islands. It is strongly striped, oviparous, and usually found in coastal heaths and warm, sunny areas.[2][3]
Etymology
The specific name, duperreyi, is in honor of French naval officer Louis Isidore Duperrey.[4]
