47. Leaf-Tailed Gecko and Pangolin
Manage episode 302761752 series 2808756
Season 1 Finale! Thank you all for tuning in over the year! As our last episode for the season we will reward you with two animals that need some help when it comes to trafficking. The Leaf-Tailed Gecko may be a popular pet but many species are at risk of endangerment and extinction because of the illegal pet trade.
We'll take a Bob Ross look into what the Satanic leaf tailed gecko looks like and learn all about those gecko feet! How do they climb on walls?! It's not stickiness and its not suction or hooks...its much more complicated than that. Van der Waals and ions!
As for the pangolin they need our help! They won't help you; they aren't made of magic! Their scales are made of keratin (you know like your fingernails) and for some reason people think that consuming pangolin scales will save them when all those scales are good for is keeping the pangolin safe from the ants and termites they eat. And yes, its a mammal.
Scientific names:
Satanic leaf-tailed Gecko: Uroplatus phantasticus
Southern leaf-tailed Gecko: Phyllurus platurus
Giant Pangolin: Smutsia gigantea
Chinese Pangolin: Manis pentadactyla
