Can you find the gecko?
A mossy leaf-tailed gecko (Uroplatus sikorae) hides in plain sight in Mantadia National Park, Madagascar. These geckos have uncanny camouflaging abilities, which are needed in a rainforest filled with keen-eyed predators. When resting, they face downward to catch unsuspecting insects climbing from the ground and to prevent their eyes from reflecting light that can alert birds to their presence.
