Brown pterogecko (SciiFii)

The brown pterogecko (Batrachogekko vespertilio) 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 brown pterogeckos are the flying geckos of the genus Ptychozoon. The brown pterogecko is a rather large member of the gecko family, reaching a length of about 42–45 centimeters (16-17 inches) in length, the wingspan of 61-64 centimeters (24-25 inches) across, and weighing around 125–240 grams (4.4–8.5 oz). The "wings" of the brown 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 brown pterogecko is a nocturnal insectivore, being a night-dwelling forest canopy flyer and a hunter of the many insects and spiders of its range. The brown 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 brown pterogecko is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the brown pterogecko's wide range.
