EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the vibrant green body of a Phelsuma sundbergi longinsulae gecko is skillfully camouflaged among the textured tree bark of Fregate Island in the Seychelles. The island, located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa, is renowned for its breathtaking beauty and diverse wildlife. The longinsulae gecko, also known as Sundberg's gecko, is a small reptile endemic to Madagascar and the nearby Comoros and Seychelles islands. This particular species was discovered on Fregate Island in 1991 and is named after the Swedish herpetologist, Leif Sundberg, who first identified it. The gecko's body is adorned with intricate patterns of bright green and yellow, making it a striking contrast against the rough bark of the tree. Its long, slender tail wraps around the tree trunk, providing additional support as it climbs. The gecko's unique ability to change color and blend in with its surroundings is a testament to its incredible adaptability. As the sun casts dappled light through the canopy, the gecko moves gracefully along the tree, its movements a mesmerizing blend of agility and precision. The serene setting of Fregate Island, with its lush vegetation and crystal-clear waters, creates an idyllic backdrop for this enchanting display of natural beauty. This photograph by Sergio Pitamitz captures the essence of the Phelsuma sundbergi longinsulae gecko's unique character and the beauty of its natural habitat. The close-up perspective invites the viewer to appreciate the intricate details of the gecko's body and the tree bark, while the side view showcases its elegant form as it climbs the tree. Overall, this image is a testament to the wonders of the natural world and the importance of preserving the habitats of endemic species like the Phelsuma sundbergi longinsulae gecko.
