The Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko is a species of gecko indigenous to the island of Madagascar. It was first described in 1888 by George Albert Boulenger and is also known as the eyelash leaf tailed gecko or the fantastic leaf tailed gecko.

This masterfully camouflaged little lizard, with a leafy tail complete with missing chunks that look to have rotted away, is a testament to natural selection.
