A skink is a small, non-venomous lizard belonging to the Scincidae family. It has a long, slender body, smooth, shiny scales and short legs, which often causes it to be mistaken for a snake. Skinks are generally harmless to humans and prefer to avoid contact with people. They primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates, making them beneficial for natural pest control. While social media users identified the reptile in the viral train video as a skink, its species has not been officially confirmed.
