In the depths of far west NSW, one of Australia's rarest reptiles hides. 🦎

For the past 25 years, researchers have been studying the kungaka, a rare skink that has only now been formally identified as its own distinct species.

Found in the Mutawinji National Park, kungaka means "hidden one" and was named by Wiimpatja, the traditional owners of the land about 130 kilometres north-east of Broken Hill.

With recent surveys discovering there are fewer than 20 of the skinks recorded at the national park, it has now been labelled Australia's rarest reptile, found nowhere else in the world.
