Uroplatus Gecko
It's Amazing Adaptation:The leaf-tailed Gecko amazing adaptation is its camouflage. I'm sure by its name you can see that it disguise it's self as a leaf or a piece of bark on a tree. This makes it hard for predators like Owls, Rats and snakes to spot or find them. The Uroplatus gecko has evolved to be an expert at avoiding predators. Other thing it does to avoid predators is flatten its body to reduce body it’s shadow and if the predators does find them they have evolved to voluntarily shed their tail to trick the predator. People sometimes call it a master of disguise as it mimics a dead leaf. Some of the colour it's found in is green, brown, black and tan.
