Observed By: Natpha Kotkangplu
Kuhl’s flying gecko is a member of the gecko family that has special adaptations that enable it glide through the air for short distances. These include webbed feet, flaps of skin on either side of its body and a flattened tail.
This gliding ability is obviously an excellent defensive tool as well as being pretty handy when you want to get to the next tree.
They have a greeny brown and tan patterned body that offers superb camouflage in their native arboreal environment.
