Spotted while we were away: plenty (or more) Phelsuma ornata.
And while some other creatures’ common names don’t quite follow through on the description – a Koala Bear isn’t bear, a King Cobra isn’t a cobra, a Jellyfish isn’t a fish etc etc – there can be no complaints here.
Je vous présente le Mauritius Ornate Day Gecko.
The objective stuff first: It’s a diurnal gecko found in Mauritius, and (ok, subjectively, but still I think fairly obviously too) it’s ornate.
4/4, full house.
No wasted words, no inaccuracies, just spot on.
More of this sort of thing, please.
