Continuing to post pictures from the archives - This time a fantastic little critter (literally). The Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus)
A rather small gecko, app 7-15 cm in overall length. They are endemic to Madagascar.
Take a close look at their tails, a near perfect mimic to a dead fig leaf.
All the pictures are of captive specimens, the 3 first ones in Oslo, Norway. The last one in a private park on Madagascar.
