Funny pictures of a cunning, grinning gecko, whose birds of prey revealed a disguise

Madagascar is an island in the Indian Ocean that truly amazes with the diversity of its wildlife. Just imagine, in 1999-2010, researchers discovered over 600 new species here! The area of the island is 580 thousand square kilometers, and it is home to approximately 25 thousand different types of living creatures. The geckos living here are distinguished by a special variety - complicated lizards with a fantastic ability to crawl on any, even absolutely smooth, surfaces.

During his journey through the forests of Madagascar, photographer and future biologist from the University of Bristol, Sam Rowley, met a very funny gecko. He could easily change his color under the trunk of a tree, thus hiding from predators. For example, from Madagascar cuckoos. However, as soon as they revealed his disguise, the lizard even acquired a very funny appearance.

Such an amazing creation Sam captured in a series of shots. Look, doesn’t it seem to you that the baby looks a lot like the Kermit frog from the Muppets?
