Description

Group of small (ca 10 cm length) geckos in well-shaded gap in a baobab-ornamented metamorphic rock reef on-which several of the cabins of the Eco-Lodge de Brousse have been constructed on the "Island of the Manatees", in the River Niger approximately 2 km north of the Park W Tent Campground. These geckos have small black spots on their back, and appear to have a white bloom on their tail and thorax. They were quite shy during the heat of the day, but much more cooperative for photography just after sundown.
