Results: The World's Most Unbelievable Camo

The Madagascar´s Satanic Leaf-Tailed Gecko is a masterfully camouflaged little lizard, with a leafy tail complete with missing chunks that look to have rotted away, is a testament to natural selection. Have you ever seen one before?

These awesome creatures will spend the day hanging motionless off of branches or snuggling among dead leaves, often twisting their leafy tails around their bodies. Other larger species have another strategy for sleeping safely during the day, flattening their bodies against tree trunks and limbs, making good use of those famously grippy feet (a magic power derived, by the way, from countless hair-like structures that allow some geckos to even stick to inverted glass panes, not that nature would ever ask them to). Fringes and flaps along the edges of their bodies help erase their outlines and shadows, dissolving the geckos into bark. Would you enjoy interacting with one of these creatures?

Some species of leaf-tailed gecko shun leaves to blend instead into bark. Can you find the gecko in this picture?
