New Gecko Species Discovered

I feel that this is very interesting and cool. It is always wonderful to welcome new species to our world. These tiny geckos area very cute and will hopefully have much to contribute to it's surroundings. These new animals are very tiny and the one they found was only half the size of the man's finger. The new reptile was named Lepidad bulie. They sent over eggs in a Kleenex but unfortunately, only one out of nine made it because the other eight died from the sudden change in temperature. It is also unfortunate that the people that discovered the animal had seen it cut in half all bloody but it is good that they found it because now we know about them and can continue to do further research on these tiny reptiles. The tiny creatures have intresting and detailed patterns on there backs and usually come in dry colors. They live on the tops of trees. It is so wonderful that these new animals were discoverd and I am very exited to read more about them and possibly find out were they have come from and why they were just found by us humans.
