1. describe some unique physical features of the blue - tongued skink.

Explanation:

Question 2

Blue - tongued skinks are known to be relatively docile (gentle) compared to many other reptiles. Most reptiles are not as aggressive as some might think, but blue - tongued skinks are particularly gentle. They are not highly aggressive (option b is wrong), they are not poisonous (option c is wrong as they are non - venomous), and "fearful" is not a typical characteristic used to describe their general behavior compared to other reptiles (option d is wrong).

The blue - tongued skink has several unique physical features. One of the most notable is its bright blue tongue, which it can display as a defense mechanism. It also has a relatively large body size for a skink, with a stocky build. Its scales are smooth and it has a broad head.

Answer:

a. gentle
