Leaf-tailed Gecko
Apperance
Leaf-tailed geckos have long, flat bodies with triangular heads.
Just like leaf-like tails. That is why they are called the Leaf- tailed Gecko.
They have big, marbled eyes with red concentric striations around the pupil set against a background of silver, tan or gold.
These lizards have a pattern, with colors varying across species from tans and greens to grays and browns (colour).
Native Habitat
During the day, branches, tree trunks and leaf litter provide areas of camouflage where the geckos can rest out of sight from predators so predators can's see them and eat them.
They can be seen on the island of Nosy Magabe, which is situated inside a bay in the northeastern reaches of Madagascar.
Giant leaf-tailed geckos inhabit humid, intact forests in lowlands and at elevations of 800 meters.
