EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the incredible resilience of the Mediterranean Gecko. Meet CAN-4457, the ultimate party animal with an extraordinary story to tell! Introduced to New Orleans in the 1940s on ships docking at its vibrant port, this gecko has made Louisiana its wild home. Native to the Old World, this little reptile thrives around human habitation – talk about being a social butterfly! With its nocturnal nature, it's no surprise that these Turkish geckos are often spotted during late-night escapades. But what truly sets CAN-4457 apart is its ability to regenerate. Look closely and you'll see a regenerated tail proudly on display! This gecko knows how to recreate itself like no other. Growing back limbs? No problem for our resilient friend! As it roams alone through America's streets, this common house gecko reminds us of both growth and second chances. Its insectivorous diet keeps pests at bay while bringing joy to wildlife enthusiasts everywhere. So next time you're strolling through New Orleans or any corner of the United States for that matter, keep an eye out for these amazing creatures. They may be small in size but their spirit is larger than life – just like this stunning photograph captured by John Cancalosi from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment!
