True or False: The male Broadheaded Skink appears to have swollen cheeks on its head.

The statement is true. Male Broadheaded Skinks exhibit swollen cheeks as a distinctive feature. This physical characteristic is particularly pronounced during the breeding season when male skinks use it as a display to attract females and assert dominance over other males. These swollen cheeks are primarily due to the presence of enlarged jaw muscles and fat deposits that give the males their distinctive appearance. This trait not only plays a role in mating displays but also serves as an identifying feature to differentiate between sexes, as females do not exhibit the same level of cheek swelling.
