The leaf-tailed gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus)

     Can you tell the difference between the leaf and the gecko? Because I can't...

     Also called the Baweng Satanic Leaf Gecko, this gecko is an abundant inhabitant of the rainforest of the island of Madagascar.

     Its perfect camouflage make it almost invulnerable to its bird and mammal predators. However, deforestation is a big threat to the population.
