The satanic leaf-tailed gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus) is the smallest of 12 species of equally bizarre-looking leaf-tailed geckos. Larger members of the species have more teeth than any other living terrestrial vertebrate species. Found in Madagascar, the geckos hunt small insects and vertebrates. Combined with their bright red eyes, their name seems highly appropriate.Gallery - Five wild RAP-stars celebrate 20 years of conservation - New Scientist
