Noronha Skink - Trachylepis atlantica |
||
The Erythrina veluntina tree of South America blooms in the dry season. In drought, the nectar it provides at times can be the only source of fresh water in the area. Many animals, including the Noronha skink, visit its flowers to drink, bringing it some very unusual pollinators. Best Three-Dimensional - Guild of Natural Science Illustrators |
