With over one hundred species occurring throughout the island in virtually all habitats, Madagascar is a hotspot for gecko diversity and endemism. This Graceful Madagascar Ground Gecko (Paroedura gracilis) is an inhabitant of the eastern rainforests and, unlike most arboreal species, lacks the enlarged toe pads for climbing vertical surfaces. Active only at night, it hunts insects from low perches in the forest understory. Marojejy National Park, Madagascar.
