Recently, a lizard was found with a fish-scaled back. This gecko only lives in Madagascar. Scientists named it Geckolepis megalepis.
This lizard is able to detach its skin easily and it is believed to escape predators this way by leaving attackers with a mouthful of scales instead of the actual body.
The gecko can grow back its skin but it takes a few weeks.
Waning! If you live in Madagascar DO NOT KEEP THESE AS PETS!
