The bronze grass skink (Eutropis macularia) is a small, agile lizard commonly found in South and Southeast Asia, inhabiting grasslands, open forests, and urban areas. It is named for its sleek, bronze-coloured body, which helps it blend into dry vegetation and avoid predators. This diurnal reptile is highly active, often seen basking in the sun or darting through undergrowth in search of insects and other small invertebrates. Like many skinks, it has smooth, overlapping scales and a long, tapering tail that can detach when threatened, allowing it to escape predators.
