Explanation:

1. First defense mechanism: The blue - tongued skink can display its bright blue tongue. This sudden and unusual color display can startle or confuse predators, making them hesitate to attack.
2. Second defense mechanism: It can use camouflage. The skink's body color and pattern often blend in with its surrounding environment (such as leaf litter or rocks), which helps it avoid being detected by predators in the first place.

Answer:

1. The blue - tongued skink can display its bright blue tongue to startle/confuse predators.
2. It can use camouflage to avoid detection by predators.
