The narrow-snouted gecko is a small lizard with a long, pointed snout. It lives in dry regions of Australia and is active only at night.
The narrow-snouted gecko differs from other geckos by its very long and pointed muzzle. It helps maintain balance in the desert by eating insects and serving as food for snakes and birds.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
