Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus)

The Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko is a nocturnal species found in Madagascar's central and northern rainforests. It blends in with its environment through camouflage. The gecko looks like dead leaves with its body shape and coloration, and its tail mimics fallen foliage. 

By day, the gecko uses its exceptional camouflage to avoid predators. At the same time, at night, it becomes a silent predator, preying on small invertebrates and insects.

The horn-like projections above its eyes, which give the gecko its name, add to the illusion. Despite its name, the Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko is not harmful to humans. 

However, this type of gecko faces threats such as habitat destruction due to deforestation and the illegal pet trade. The gecko's unique appearance makes it a desirable target in the pet trade.
