day one-hundred-and-ninety-four - some gecko

or paroedura masobe

i can't really find this guy's common name

surely this guy is related to the stegosaurus, what with his spiky tail and all. yep. a certain fact.

facts all around:

- he has an unknown name
- his tail is probably descended from a mace
- he's cool
- he is crazy endangered (this is actually true)

oh and he's a malagasy (i don't care if that term only refers to humans...)

day forty-two - fan-fingered gecko

way too many hyphens in that title.

but not as many as the amount of scales this guy has:

that was fun to draw...

...

that is a fan-fingered gecko and a close-up of his fanned fingers. so strange. it could easily be mistaken for coral or a strange plant, but only if dismembered from the gecko (the head and body might give it away otherwise)

INFORMATIVE!
