Gecko on Mount Gilboa



‎Though the lizard pictured here is called a Mediterranean House Gecko, it is also well-adapted to surviving in the wild—in this case, on Israel’s Mount Gilboa. Geckos take refuge in cracks in rocks and trees that afford them both protection and an easy escape route should they be attacked. They capture and consume their prey, exclusively insects, at night. Observers note peak activity at about 2 A.M.
