By day they camouflage themselves to hide from predators, but by night, the Madagascan leaf gecko turns hunter and goes on a stealth mission of its own.

Sir David Attenborough is amazing. I could hear him read the phone book and I'd be intrigued. These geckos are cute.

@tacticalveterinarian 9 лет назад

I agree! Sir DA and Uroplatus geckos are incredible! Hearing his voice makes me miss the real educational programs on television...

@LaedeeTyme 9 лет назад

i always thought geckos were really cute but those guys in the dark with their eyes dilated like that is creepy xP

@adrielgarciauwu 9 лет назад

These geckoes look very fit for a semi-aquatic life style. They have a flattened paddle-like tail, webbed feet and hands, and a flat body.

@naeff002 9 лет назад

These are not semi-aquatic animals. They are arboreal animals, there tail is part of there camouflage. There tail looks like a leaf. That's why they are called leaf tailed geckos. There from the family Uroplatus and only life on Madagascar. If you look for Uroplatus phantasticus you can recognize the leaf in there tail.

@samissa9921 6 лет назад

You know, that could be a possibility of their evolutionary past

@pythoncasey 3 года назад

If it were flattened laterally like a marine iguana or a sea snake then sure, but dorsally compressed animals like leaf-tailed geckoes are not very well adapted to swimming as they can't move their tail up and down like a manatee.

@MuhammadEgypt 9 лет назад

What a mean gecko! Grab a bite of the worm then leave it die in agony. And why not squash it in your way.

Gecko didn't feel the mosquito on its mouth. Thought he would lick it.

Super powerful zoom lenses.

@paperspiders8893 2 года назад

Also, a lot of these interactions are staged in huge terrariums. Not all, but many of them are. There are entire production companies that make livings from having aquariums and terrariums for filming, BBC has used them in the past.

what does he mean by bad taste doesn’t stop the gecko getting in a little retaliation ?

@Legion563 6 лет назад

The Gecko when climbing up stood/trampled all over the caterpillar while climbing, hence its 'retaliation'.

@littlefieryone2825 5 лет назад

Was it dead after being stepped on? It just kinda looked mildly annoyed.

@doofkos 5 лет назад

Since the gecko has bitten off the head, I think so.

@PlayerPunisher 9 лет назад

It's interesting that it's eyes are looking forward. I was taught to understand that forward looking eyes belong primarily to predators. Though, this creature is a predator in its own it is certainly not anywhere near the top of any food chain. So what gives?

@InfamousWolf1 8 лет назад

I think it's camouflage makes up for the front facing eyes

@rjv 6 лет назад

Eyes on front need not necessarily be for higher level predators. Some fruit eating animals including primates evolved front facing eyes because binocular vision helps perceive depth and also allows you to "see through" leaves. A huge advantage in the leafy environment of tree tops There's a video title "Human Predator: Eyes in front explored" which gives some background on this. I think you'll like it
