Namib sand gecko || Skeleton Coast National Park || Oct 2018<br /> Namib sand geckos or Web-footed geckos get their names because of their webbed feet. The feet aid them in grip for the loose sand that they live on. The small stretches of skin in between the toes also help them burrow if running is not an option. They can disappear under the sand in seconds. Namib sand gecko,Pachydactylus rangei Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

The Namib sand gecko

''Pachydactylus rangei'', the Namib sand gecko or Namib web-footed gecko, is a species of small lizard in the family Gekkonidae. It inhabits the arid areas of Angola, Namibia, and South Africa, and was first described in 1908 by Swedish zoologist Lars Gabriel Andersson, who named it after its finder, German geologist Dr. Paul Range.
