At last! Yesterday, visiting the well-known Zürich rainforest, we finally saw one of their famed leaf-tailed geckos (these had otherwise seemed to be rather mythical creatures):
It is in fact not entirely surprising that we did not see one before; indeed, can you spot the one hiding in this other picture?

Yes, that’s were it is! (Note: for readers still looking, do not click on Andreas’s link…)
Although there were five or six people all saying they saw a gecko on this trunk, it took me a few minutes to finally see it! (I had actually taken the picture before I located it, thinking of looking for it on the computer afterwards…)
