Arboreal locomotion
Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees.

Gargoyle gecko
The gargoyle gecko, knob-headed giant gecko, New Caledonia bumpy gecko, or New Caledonian bumpy gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) is a species of gecko found only on the southern end of the island of New Caledonia. Rhacodactylus and gargoyle gecko are geckos of New Caledonia.

Gecko
Geckos are small, mostly carnivorous lizards that have a wide distribution, found on every continent except Antarctica.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Hemipenis
A hemipenis (hemipenes) is one of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates (snakes and lizards).
See Rhacodactylus and Hemipenis
Lamella (surface anatomy)
Lamellae on a gecko's foot. In surface anatomy, a lamella is a thin plate-like structure, often one amongst many lamellae very close to one another, with open space between.

Leopold Fitzinger
Leopold Joseph Franz Johann Fitzinger (13 April 1802 – 20 September 1884) was an Austrian zoologist.

Mniarogekko chahoua
Mniarogekko chahoua, commonly known as the mossy New Caledonian gecko, short-snouted New Caledonian gecko, Bavay's giant gecko, or mossy prehensile-tailed gecko, is an arboreal gecko found natively on the southern portion of the island of New Caledonia and on the outlying islands of Île des Pins. Rhacodactylus and Mniarogekko chahoua are geckos of New Caledonia.

New Caledonia
New Caledonia (Nouvelle-Calédonie) is a ''sui generis'' collectivity of overseas France in the southwest Pacific Ocean, south of Vanuatu, about east of Australia, and from Metropolitan France.
See Rhacodactylus and New Caledonia
Nocturnality
Nocturnality is a behavior in some non-human animals characterized by being active during the night and sleeping during the day.
See Rhacodactylus and Nocturnality
Oviparity
Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.
See Rhacodactylus and Oviparity
Prehensile tail
A prehensile tail is the tail of an animal that has adapted to grasp or hold objects.
See Rhacodactylus and Prehensile tail
Rhacodactylus leachianus
Rhacodactylus leachianus, commonly known as the New Caledonian giant gecko, Leach's giant gecko, leachianus gecko, or Leachie, is the largest living species of gecko and a member of the family Diplodactylidae. Rhacodactylus and Rhacodactylus leachianus are geckos of New Caledonia.
See Rhacodactylus and Rhacodactylus leachianus
Rhacodactylus trachycephalus
Rhacodactylus trachycephalus, commonly known as the lesser rough-snouted giant gecko, dwarf rough-snouted giant gecko, or tough-snouted giant gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to two small areas of islands in New Caledonia. Rhacodactylus and Rhacodactylus trachycephalus are geckos of New Caledonia.
See Rhacodactylus and Rhacodactylus trachycephalus
Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus
The rough-snouted giant gecko (Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus), also known as the greater rough-snouted gecko or tough-snouted gecko, is a species of gecko found in New Caledonia. Rhacodactylus and Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus are geckos of New Caledonia.
See Rhacodactylus and Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus
Sexual dimorphism
Sexual dimorphism is the condition where sexes of the same species exhibit different morphological characteristics, particularly characteristics not directly involved in reproduction.
See Rhacodactylus and Sexual dimorphism
Species
A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
Viviparity
In animals, viviparity is development of the embryo inside the body of the mother, with the maternal circulation providing for the metabolic needs of the embryo's development, until the mother gives birth to a fully or partially developed juvenile that is at least metabolically independent.
