Kooyang—season of eels

Eel Late summer: Late January-late March. This beautiful #gecko has a #historyrecord of living #lizards more than 70 million years ago; when #dinosaurs still roamed the #Earth!

This #CriticallyEndangeredlizard is primarily threatened by the expansion of #housing at its known locations around #Victoria. In addition, invasive #mammals like #cats and #rats are known to prey upon the #marbledgecko. The little guy that you will see around your outside lights catching #insects is protected under regional legislation and was a exciting find last night on my regular walk to put my #chickens to bed..
