This special photo shows a delicate gecko that lives in the Namibian desert and has adapted perfectly to life in the fine sand. The animal was carefully retrieved from the sand by an experienced guide during a guided safari - a magical moment that was impressively captured in this close-up. The gecko's colouring harmonises with the reddish-beige sand and illustrates its excellent camouflage skills.
The image conveys the beauty and fragility of the animal world in arid regions and invites viewers to discover the fascinating biodiversity of Namibia. As a mural or poster, this photo is ideal for nature enthusiasts, desert lovers and travellers with wanderlust.
This is my absolute favourite .... Isn't he cute? I had this wonderful creature on my hand. He took my heart by storm.
