Actually I didn't see this!This spotting has been selected as PN fun fact on 12th september 2014!!Unbelievable!!So this is my second fun fact!!Project Noah Fun Fact: The endangered leaf-nosed lizard (Ceratophora tennentii), found only in Sri Lanka's forests, has a leaf-like appendage at the end of its nose, giving it an unusual appearance. It is not very agile and therefore relies more on coloration rather than speed for protection against predators.
