Uroplatus phantasticus

Satanic leaf-tailed gecko Strategy: masquerade as a dead leaf. This little gecko, only about 9 cm long, has a flat, leaf-shaped tail that often carries small cutouts, as if something had been nibbling a fallen leaf. By day it hangs motionless among dead leaves in the branches, and only at night does it move off to hunt insects. It lives only in Madagascar's eastern rainforests, from Zahamena in the east to the Andringitra Mountains in the south, so a guided night walk in one of those forests is the realistic way to see one. Look for a "leaf" with legs.
