EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Emanuele Biggi, we witness a fascinating moment of nature's quirky charm. Meet the European Leaf-toed Gecko, an adult lizard hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Italy. As summer envelops Southern Europe, this curious reptile finds itself clinging to vibrant leaves, showcasing its acrobatic prowess. But what truly steals the show is our gecko friend caught red-tongued! With impeccable precision and agility, it diligently cleans its eye using none other than its own tongue. Who needs a mirror when you have such remarkable self-grooming skills? As we marvel at this enchanting scene, let's not forget that even wildlife has hygiene on their minds during those hot Italian summers. Our leaf-toed buddy proves that cleanliness is indeed universal – whether you're human or gecko! So next time you find yourself wandering through the lush greenery of Italy's countryside, keep your eyes peeled for these delightful creatures and their peculiar habits. And who knows? You might just stumble upon another unforgettable encounter like this one – where tongues become cleaning tools and lizards become nature's very own window cleaners!
