Scientists have discovered a new species of parachute gecko in India, according to the study published in Nature. The wide-eyed, smiling reptiles were discovered while researchers were surveying gecko populations in northeastern India.
The creature’s scientific name is Gekko mizoramensis, but scientists have dubbed the mini-lizards “parachute geckos” due to their habit of gliding from tree to tree.
The Gekko mizoramensis are nocturnal and use scent simulations to protect themselves as they fly. The reptiles were most active around the onset of dusk, hunting and ambushing their prey, which includes beetles, roaches, moths, and other insects, according to the study.
