<b>Eutropis nagarjuni</b>, commonly known as the Nagarjun Skink, is a small to medium-sized skink from the montane forests of the Western Ghats, featuring a streamlined body, smooth olive to brown scales with darker stripes, and a diet primarily of insects. Notably adaptable, this skink exhibits unique behaviors such as fleeing to cover when threatened and plays an essential role in its ecosystem by regulating insect populations.
