Watcher of the Sands – Eastern sand gecko (Stenodactylus leptocosymbotes) – Oman
The Eastern Sand Gecko (Stenodactylus leptocosymbotes) is a discreet and elusive creature. Recognizable by its large eyes adapted to nocturnal vision, it emerges mainly at night to hunt small insects. Its long, slender legs allow it to move nimbly across loose sand, while its pale coloration helps it blend into its surroundings. A small jewel of adaptation to the most extreme conditions.
