The 2,000th leaf-tailed gecko has hatched @riverbankszoo Leaf-tailed geckos are native only to Madagascar, and are most well known for their uncanny camouflage skills (the main reason for the white backdrop). In fact some of these gecko species have fringed flaps on their sides and lower jaws that can flatten against a surface, to obscure their outline. Talk about an amazing adaptation! .

Malayan tapirs communicate with high-pitched whistles that oddly resemble the sound of squeaky car brakes.

💕Looking for post Valentine’s Day romantic advice?💕 Take some from the wreathed hornbill! Not only will they pair-bond for life, but they’ll even court each other by sharing meals. And once they have settled down together the pair will go to great feats to raise their offspring. Quite the amazing couples! . Photo credit: Larry Cameron
