Lepidodactylus tepukapili
Lepidodactylus tepukapili is a species of gecko, which is known as the Tuvalu forest gecko and is known in the Tuvaluan language as "moko" or "pili". It is the only recorded vertebrate that is endemic to Tuvalu. It has been located on Fuagea (also called Fuakea) and on Tepuka. "Lepidodactylus tepukapili's" naming is based upon the Tuvaluan language words for "small lizard" and the island of Tepuka, where specimens were first discovered. As of 2020, the Tuvalu forest gecko has not yet been assessed by the IUCN Red List.
