Tail squirter

Description:

Sitting on an old grasstree spike. Strophurus spinigerus "All members of this genus have the unique defence, the ability to squirt a harmless, but smelly, fluid from their tails. This is used to deter birds while they are perching in shrubbery, being unusual in the family by exposing themselves during the day. As with other geckos, they are also nocturnal. Some members lack spines and enlarged scales, while another subgroup contains spines on the tail and other parts of the body." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strophurus
