By Matt Walker
Editor, Earth News  A new and extremely well camouflaged species of gecko has been discovered hiding in the forests of Cambodia. Scientists working for Fauna & Flora International found the olive-green coloured gecko in the foothills of the Cardomom Mountains. Called Cnemaspis neangthyi, the gecko is only the second species of its kind known to live in the country. Scientists suspect it has lain hidden for so long due to its camouflage and habit of foraging in rocky crevices. http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8584000/8584979.stm |
