Giant Madagascar Day Gecko

Phelsuma grandis

Giant Madagascar Day Gecko

Adults inhabit sunlit tree trunks, large-leaved plants, and forest-edge gardens in northern Madagascar. They hunt insects and other small invertebrates, supplemented with nectar, pollen, and ripe fruit. Bright green camouflage and quick movements allow them to approach prey among foliage. This large day gecko has adhesive toe pads capable of gripping remarkably smooth vertical surfaces.
