Easily recognized by its bright green color with red spots, this is the largest gecko in the world. Diurnal, it lives and finds its food (insects, lizards and fruit) in trees. It moves around easily thanks to the lamellae on the underside of its legs, which enable it to adhere to the smoothest surfaces.
