Wildlife photographer Alex Hyde’s first scientific training to learn how to find animals that do not really want to be found. Alex is not averse to even more people look at this amazing ability to camouflage some of the animals.
In this picture we see listohvostogo Geckos, hiding in the trunk of a tree covered with ivy, in the jungle of the national park on the Masoala peninsula, north-east of Madagascar.

This frog from tropical forest national park, Andasibe Mantadia in Madagascar. Alec Hyde said: “I never cease to be surprised by how skillfully manage to disguise themselves. To be able to photograph the animals, it is necessary to know exactly where it likes to hide in different times of day and under different conditions.”
“Geckos Listohvosti well disguised against the tree trunk. The striking resemblance to the bark is not just skin color Geckos, but also its texture. If they do not have the ability to hide so well, they have long had to catch predators, destroying the entire population.”
The struggle for survival becomes more difficult in proportion as the jungles of Madagascar to reduce timber production. While the island off the coast of Africa was left untouched, it was covered by forest is about 90%. Now, only 7%. This frog is Platepelis Grandis. As we see, including their habitat is thick moss.
During the last half century, Madagascar has lost much of its forests. Legally protected forest areas are barely 2% of the total area of the island, and most of the jungle is still in danger. Penkohvosti Chameleon disguised among the fallen leaves in the national park peninsula Masaola.
