Original - Eumeces fasciatus (here an adult with partly regrown tail pictured in parkland in Memphis, Tennessee), is a small to medium sized skink growing to about 12.5 centimres (4.9 in) to 21.5 centimetres (8.5 in) total length, and one of the most common lizards in the US, and one of only five lizard species occurring in Canada.

Support, pretty interesting. Muhammad, I don't find it noisy, however, and NR would detract from its excellent detail. -- King of♥♦♣ ♠ 23:21, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Interesting composition. Maybe a little selective blur on the background would help without harming the detail on the animal.Fletcher (talk) 01:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd strike the in its natural range, there is a meshwire fence in the background and the animal is sitting on a sawed of piece of tree trunk. All man-made. --Dschwen20:01, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
