枯败的树枝上耷拉着金黄的枯叶，若是看到其中一片正在跳动，不要以为是风在作祟，那是聪明的伪装者——叶尾壁虎——正在活动筋骨。它们外形与枯叶没什么两样，完美地伪装技能让它们巧妙躲过来自天敌的杀身之祸。叶尾壁虎是脊索动物的一种爬行动物。分布于澳大利亚梅尔维尔角，栖息于树上，喜食昆虫，卵生，体长从8厘米到30厘米。善于模仿成树叶，被誉为伪装大师，同时壁虎还可以变成黄色、绿色、橙色以及粉红色等颜色。眼角上方带有突触，形似“睫毛”；尾部酷似枯叶，常常还在边缘带有锯齿状的凹陷，类似象树叶被昆虫咬食过，起到了极强的伪装。Leapin’ lizards! Take a tip from our reptilian friend here and make the most of this day, as the next February 29 won’t happen until 2020.

Like many other species in its genus, the Henkel’s leaf-tailed gecko lives on the island of Madagascar and nearby Nosy Be Island. Due to deforestation and other habitat destruction, as well as the pet trade, leaf-tailed geckos are becoming as rare as Leap Day. For now, this specimen makes the daring jump from branch to branch on a continuing search for tasty insects.
