According to a study published in Nature, the animals were found in the northeastern Indian state of Mizoram and named ‘Gekko mizoramensis’.
Researchers found the wide-eyed, smiling reptiles while surveying gecko populations in the region.
Parachute geckos, also known as flying geckos or gliding geckos, are a group of reptiles known for their unique ability to glide through the air.
These animals use flaps of skin on their bodies called patagia to glide through the air between trees. Their unique adaptation allows them to escape predators, reach new foraging spots, and navigate their arboreal habitat.
Scientists discover a new species of flying gecko and it has a great smile
