Sind Sand Gecko Gem from sand dune.<br />
I could not imagine a gecko living in sand dunes.. Typical geckos possess sticky palms with arrangement of scales which will act as suction pads.. But to thrive in sand dunes it won&#039;t be of any use and hence they have digits and pads similar to lizards.. Quite strange for a gecko(or for us who are used to see typical geckos) Adaptation,Barmer,BirdsOfIndia,Crossobamon orientalis,D5200,Fall,Gecko,Geotagged,India,IndianBirds,Nikon,NikonD5200,Rajasthan,Sand,Sind,Tamron,Tamron70300,incredible india,incredibleindia,macro Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
