Tiliqua rugosa is a short-tailed, slow moving species of blue-tongued skink found in Australia. Three of the four recognized subspecies are found only in Western Australia, where they are known collectively by the common name bobtail. The name shingleback is also used, especially for T. rugosa asper, the only subspecies native to eastern Australia. T. rugosa has a heavily armoured body and can be found in various colours, ranging from dark brown to cream. It has a short, wide stumpy tail that resembles its head and may confuse predators. The tail also contains fat reserves, which are drawn upon during hibernation in winter. This skink is an omnivore that eat snails and plants and spends much of its time browsing through vegetation for food. It is often seen sunning itself on roadsides or other paved areas. Apart from bobtail and shingleback a variety of other common names are used, including stump-tailed skink, bogeye, pinecone lizard and sleepy lizard.
