Fan-fingered gecko (Ptyodactylus hasselquistii)
The Fan-Fingered Gecko is a nocturnal creature found in the rocky landscapes of North Africa and the Middle East. Its unique fan-shaped digits allow it to climb rocky cliffs easily, and its earthy brown coloration provides effective camouflage against the stony background.
The Fan-Fingered Gecko begins its foraging routine every night under the vast desert sky. Despite its small size, it is an adept hunter, preying on beetles, spiders, and moths.
It emits a high-pitched sound to defend itself. Moreover, it can drop its tail to escape when threatened; afterward, it grows a new one.
