Kuhl’s Flying Gecko
Description
Scientific Name: Gekko kuhli
IUCN status: Least Concern
It is found in Malay Peninsula, Greater Sunda Island, Myanmar and Nicobar Islands.
It has a special adaptation of skin flap on either side of the body, webbed feet and flattened tail which allow this species to glide it for a short distance and its flaps also help them in camouflaging. Due to their overexposure to sun has led to adaptation of pigmentation of internal organs which helps the organs from UV damage.
