Lygodactylus is a genus of small geckos found primarily in Africa and Madagascar. These lizards are known for their slender bodies and long toes, which help them climb and navigate through their arboreal habitats. They typically have vibrant colors and patterns, aiding in camouflage among leaves and branches. These geckos are primarily insectivorous, feeding on small insects and other invertebrates. Lygodactylus species are often diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. Their unique adaptations and behaviors make them an interesting subject of study in the field of herpetology.
