Tokay Gecko
Tokay geckos are among the largest gecko species on the planet. They don a colorful appearance and are commonly found in south and southeast Asia. The tokay gecko gets it name from the noise it makes, which sounds like it’s saying “to-kay.” While they may seem smiley and adorable, these geckos have a tendency to be territorial, attacking intruders and fellow Tokays who might pose a threat. A tokay can break off its tail in defense, with the cast-off section moving about for several minutes to allow it to distract and escape from its attacker.
