Comments: Head of a Noronha skink (Trachylepis atlantica) on Fernando de Noronha island, Brazil.  Original description:  "A mabuia é um réptil simpático, curioso e aparentemente sempre faminto, endêmico à ilha de Fernando de Noronha. Para quem gostou do bichinho, há outra aqui fotografada durante nossa visita anterior à ilha.  The Noronha skink is a cute little reptile. They're endemic to the island of Fernando de Noronha, are extremely curious and apparently insatiably hungry. If you liked this one, there's another shot from our previous visit to the island here."
