Chalcides ebneri

provided by wikipedia EN

Chalcides ebneri, also known commonly as Ebner's cylindrical skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Morocco.[1]

Etymology

The specific name, ebneri, is in honor of Austrian entomologist Richard Ebner (1885–1961).[3]

Conservation status

C. ebneri is only found in two small locations and has not been sighted since 1970. It is threatened by some agricultural practices and habitat loss, and populations presumably continue to decline.[1]

Habitat

C. ebneri is found in rocky areas near grassy ground cover.[1]

Reproduction

The females of C. ebneri give birth to live young,[1] by ovoviviparity.[2]
