Screaming Baby Dragon doesn't want me to do a health check! Red-eyed crocodile skink

Did you know that besides geckos, Tribolonotus are said to be some of the only other lizards that possess vocal cords? They can voice their distress and advertise their presence by making sounds (barks, chirps, squeaks and growls). Every few months, I go through every crocodile skink terrarium, handle each skink to give them all a once over, and check for new eggs and neonates (babies). Here I am examining a young red-eyed crocodile skink (Tribolonotus gracilis); as you can see and hear, they weren’t hesitant to voice their disapproval!

So cute!! Looks and sounds more like a realistic stylized animation than a real animal. Can't believe something so darn adorable actually exists.
