Lizard Looks Exactly Like A Leaf And It Is Super Creepy
The rumors about Australia are true: there are a lot of bugs and snakes—though they are not wandering around everywhere as people think. The creepy creatures we are discussing are usually quite visible; they might hide occasionally, but ultimately, you expect to find them around.

The best kind of bug, snake, or spider is, in my opinion, one that is nowhere near you! However, at least many of these disgusting creatures are very visible and not often hidden.
This lizard in Madagascar, however, is not so considerate. It is exceptionally good at hiding and blending in with its surroundings—which is scary for those who do not like them!

In the rainforests where they are found, there are a whole bunch of predators, so the geckos really need to camouflage themselves with their surroundings.

Their skin has ridges on it to make it look like there are veins—just like on leaves. Their tails are even leaf-shaped, too.

But as for the satanic name? It might come from its creepy red tongue or even the fact that it can let out a scream to scare off predators!
