This Gecko Shoots the Most Disgusting Liquid Out of Its Tail

Golden-tailed Gecko (Strophurus taenicauda)

This little guy may look like your standard gecko with his big, ruby-like eyes and spotted scales. However, this particular gecko, known as the golden-tailed gecko, is anything but standard. What makes this reptile unique is its ability to shoot a sticky, foul-smelling fluid from its tail. So what's the purpose of this ability? Why are its spines important? And is the liquid toxic to humans and animals?

Essay 9. Clearing the Future: Ecosystems, Agriculture, & A History of Land Clearing In Queensland

This Golden-Tailed Gecko (Strophurus taenicauda) is just one of many threatened species living in the ever decreasing Brigalow Belt habitats.

Since early in human history one of our greatest survival tools, aside from communication, has been our ability to modify the environment to suit our needs (1). This might range from simply changing the things around us in form, such as creating structures…
