Just look at those eyes!

Native in Madagaskar, the land of 'the origin of species', this gecko tends to sleep upside down during daytime. Awaking at night it hunts for small insecticide animals.
Wow, just look at those eyes, the raffles on its skin. Talk about intelligent design!

It was quite dark taking this shot, hence the higher iso. Still it worked out nice I think. Just look at that big round eye, closed open. Posted 13 years ago

The Henkels Leaf-tailed Gecko (Uroplatus henkeli)

Henkel's Leaf-tailed Gecko , is a gecko that is found on the island Nosy Bé near Madagascar, as well as on the mainland Madagascar itself, in the region of Ankaranafantsika. These geckos live an arboreal lifestyle, often venturing down to the ground only to lay eggs in soft soil and leaflitter. There are two different morphs of these geckos; the Nosy Bé form, and the mainland Madagascar form, and they can be distinguished by their colouration patterns, though these are not always reliable.
