leaf-tailed gecko
The leaf-tailed gecko is a unique species of lizard found primarily in the forests of Madagascar. Known for its remarkable camouflage, this gecko has a flattened body and a tail that resembles a dead leaf, helping it blend into its surroundings. There are several species of leaf-tailed geckos, each exhibiting different patterns and colors.
These geckos are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. They feed on insects and other small invertebrates. Their ability to remain hidden from predators and prey alike makes them fascinating examples of adaptation in the wild.
