My guide pointed out this superbly camouflaged leaf-tailed gecko. Even while looking right at it, it was still hard to see! This was outside the visitors centre at Andasibe Mantidia National Park.

Thanks asergio. Camouflage is an amazing thing!
Animal camouflage is THE thing I like more in nature. I just can't figure out what steps these critters took to reach that perfection. Aniway, both spots are fantastic, congratulations.
