The Leaf-Tailed Gecko - Expert in the art of camouflage.

The Leaf-Tailed Gecko (also known as Uroplatus, the Greek word for “flat-tailed”) is a nocturnal, tree-dwelling lizard from the forests of Madagascar, and is an expert in the art of camouflage.

As an arboreal lizard, it will spend most of its time camouflaging with the trees. Its color and texture are nearly identical to that of the tree bark found in its natural habitat, allowing it to turn virtually invisible to larger, hungrier animals. The color of its skin will even change to match the bark.
