Title: It's no wonder this species was so hard to find Written by: duddy on Oct 8, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_08_10_13_5_17_01.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=14116) Biologists from James Cook University have discovered a new species of leaf-tailed gecko in Australia. The lizard is highly camouflaged against the granite boulders it lives on and grows to around 12 cm. It's been named the Cape Melville leaf-tailed gecko (Saltaurius eximius) after the region in northern Queensland where it was found. |
