Chalcides ebneri, also known commonly as Ebner's cylindrical skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Morocco.[1]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The specific name, ebneri, is in honor of Austrian entomologist Richard Ebner (1885–1961).[3]
Conservation status
[edit | edit source]C. ebneri is only found in two small locations and has not been sighted since 1970. It is threatened by some agricultural practices and habitat loss, and populations presumably continue to decline.[1]
Habitat
[edit | edit source]C. ebneri is found in rocky areas near grassy ground cover.[1]
Reproduction
[edit | edit source]The females of C. ebneri give birth to live young,[1] by ovoviviparity.[2]
