11003-56001 Fiordland skink (Oligosoma acrinasum) occurs on south-western coast of Fiordland, where they inhabit rock crevices on exposed boulder beaches and islands. Storm driven waves may flood these habitats, forcing skinks deep into rock crevices or out to sea, to be washed ashore further along the coast. Often basks communally, in tangled piles of individuals. Breaksea Island, Fiordland *
