Geckos - Nature's Masters of Disguise
Native to Australia, the Northern Leaf-Tailed gecko, seen in the picture above, is named after its leaf-shaped tail, which can be regenerated,if lost. Unlike other geckos, they do not have the toe pads that stick to surfaces, which is what enables the lizards to walk upside down or sideways. Instead, they have clawed toes, which assist them to climb on rough surfaces. These geckos can also turn to several shades of green or yellow, depending on the environment they are trying to blend in.
