Explore Toyota Elephant Passage - Did you know that the new exhibit is home to fifteen different species? While the elephants are the headliners, there are fourteen smaller species that call Toyota Elephant Passage home. One of these is the prehensile-tailed skink, an arboreal reptile species, found in the wild on the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean. These smooth-skinned lizards use their tail as a fifth limb, like some monkeys, to move among tree branches. Find the skink, and seven other species, in the El Pomar Foundation Village Hall in the center of Toyota Elephant Passage.
