Kuhl's Gliding Gecko (Gekko kuhli). Equipped with webbed feet and parasail-like flaps of skin all along its body, this tree-dwelling gecko is able to ‘parachute’ when leaping through the air to escape predators. This not only softens its landing but also enables it to glide a considerable distance. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
