Madagascar giant day gecko - Phelsuma grandis

Phelsuma grandis is a diurnal arboreal species of day gecko. These geckos are part of the Phelsuma group, which consists of in excess of 70 species and subspecies. They are commonly referred to as the Madagascar giant day gecko, due to their large size. They are native to areas of tropical and subtropical forest in northern Madagascar, but have been introduced to several other subtropical locations outside their range. P. grandis feeds on various invertebrates, very small vertebrates, and nectar. It is bred and sold as an exotic pet. (Text Source: Wikipedia)

My passion is wildlife photography and every day I will showcase one animal in my feed. I hope I can bring the beauty of nature into your home and show how amazing nature is.
Every single animal needs our protection, as they all play an important part in our survival.

Unfortunately, humans have wiped out on average 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970 a recent study finds. With my wildlife photo a day, I hope to showcase a fraction of them before they are gone…

It's taken a lot of patience to get to this level of trust with my day gecko. 🥰 (she is eating some honey from my hand) For some reason, a lot of people think reptiles are stupid and incapable of learning, which seems crazy to anyone who has interacted with them. My gecko has now learned that my hands equal food, so whenever she sees me place my hand out she comes running!

So I'm giving this place a try! I guess that means an #Introduction is in order. 😊

I'm a PhD student at #UniversityOfHelsinki in Finland. I research canine cognitive traits, and look at things such as heritability, breed differences, and associations with problem behaviour.

I'm fascinated by #AnimalBehaviour / #AnimalBehavior #AnimalCognition, #Ethology, #DogBehaviour, #CanineScience, #CanineCognition and #AnimalWelfare.

I have a #RescueDog called Jessie, and a little #DayGecko called Suki. 🦎
