The sandfish skink, a type of lizard found in deserts, escapes predators by burrowing into the sand. Its streamlined body and specialized scales allow it to move swiftly beneath the surface, effectively evading threats. This behavior not only provides protection but also helps the skink regulate its temperature in harsh environments.
