Golden pterogecko (SciiFii)

The golden pterogecko (Fulgurgekko volictus) is a species of lizard that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests and wetlands across Southeast Asia to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the golden pterogeckos are the flying geckos of the genus Ptychozoon. The golden pterogecko is a rather large member of the gecko family, reaching a length of about 46–50 centimeters (18-19 inches) in length, the wingspan of 65-76 centimeters (25-29 inches) across, and weighing between 238–380 grams (8.4–13.4 oz). The "wings" of the golden pterogecko are a derived form of a single, asymetrically-hyper-extended toe pad, with the hair-like setae secondarily adapted into air-catching folds. The golden pterogecko is a diurnal omnivore, being a daylight-loving forest canopy flyer that eats small animals and fruit. The golden pterogecko is a rather solitary animal and usually prefers to live in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the golden pterogecko is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the golden pterogecko's wide range.
