Uroplatus fimbriatus (Schneider, 1797)
Uroplatus fimbriatus is a large nocturnal gecko with highly light-sensitive eyes that can see color at night.
This species, the giant leaf-tail gecko Uroplatus fimbriatus (Schneider, 1797), is a large nocturnal gecko. Its eyes are extremely sensitive to light, 350 times more sensitive than the human eye, which allows the species to see in colors even at night. During the day, it rests head-down, flattened against the surface of a small tree trunk. When disturbed, it will raise its tail and head, open its mouth, and scream.
