Langkawi bent-toed gecko (Cyrtodactylus macrotuberculatus

This extraordinary gecko was first discovered in 2008 on an island off North-western Malaysia by Dr Lee Grismer and his team. It uses its amazing eyesight and grip to catch its forest-dwelling prey at night. But what made it a discovery of the decade was that this forest gecko has also recently been found in a limestone cave. The cave gecko looks similar to those living in the forest but has some remarkable visible differences. Dr Grismer believes this could be evolution in the making - a gecko that has evolved to live in a cave. The lizards may have moved into the caves to avoid predators - specifically pit vipers that live in the forest
