Amazing camouflage

The Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to the island of Madagascar.Leaf-Tailed Geckos Are Basically Invisible!

Believe it or not, there is a lizard in the below picture:

The thing you can't see is a leaf-tailed gecko, a creature that has evolved to look like bark, leaves and twigs. It's so good at pretending to be other things that, most of the time, you can't even tell it's there when you're actively looking for it. At least, until it blinks. These Geckos are from the Island of Madagascar.
