Chioninia coctei

Description

Chioninia coctei, also called the Cape Verde giant skink, Bibron's skink, lagarto, or Cocteau's skink, is a species of lizard, a reptile that was at one time known to inhabit the islets of Branco and Raso in the Cape Verde islands of the Atlantic Ocean, rendered deserts by human-caused habitat destruction. None have been observed since the early 20th century.
