Northland green gecko

provided by wikipedia EN

The Northland green gecko or Gray's tree gecko (Naultinus grayii ) is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is found only in the Northland region of New Zealand, north of Whangaroa; it is one of the rarest and most highly sought after lizards.[4]

Taxonomy

Naultinus grayii was originally described by Thomas Bell in 1843.[4]

Etymology

The specific name, grayii, is in honor of British herpetologist John Edward Gray.[5]

Description

Northland green gecko head

The Northland green gecko is vivid green with grey or gold-coloured markings on either side along the dorsal surface. Males have a blue band along the sides just below the limbs. Underneath, the ventral surface of both sexes is bright pale green, sometimes with a yellow tinge. The inside of the mouth is deep blue with a bright red tongue.

Its total length (including tail) is up to 200 mm (7.9 in), and its snout-to-vent length (SVL) is up to 95 mm (3.7 in).

Behaviour

The Northland green gecko is diurnal, often found sun-basking. It has an arboreal lifestyle, especially favouring stands of manuka, kanuka, and mingimingi.

Conservation status

In 2012 the Department of Conservation classified the Northland green gecko as "At Risk" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. It was judged as meeting the criteria for "At Risk" threat status as a result of it having a low to high ongoing or predicted decline. This gecko is also regarded as being "Data Poor".[1]

Captivity

This species, like all the Naultinus species, is regarded as the Holy grail of Geckos among their keepers, often going for a large amount of money for a pair of lizards. Outside of its home range, it is most commonly kept in Europe where there are several keepers producing offspring, though still extremely rarely seen.

In 2001 a German tourist was fined $12,000 for attempting to smuggle Northland green geckos out of the country in his underwear.[6]

Naultinus grayii ( French )

provided by wikipedia FR

Naultinus grayii est une espèce de geckos de la famille des Diplodactylidae[1].

Répartition

 src=
Distribution de Naultinus grayii en bleu foncé.

Cette espèce est endémique de Nouvelle-Zélande[1]. Elle se rencontre dans le nord de l'île du Nord.

Description

Morphologie

 src=
Naultinus grayii

Naultinus grayii a un aspect relativement élancé ayant une longueur museau-cloaque comprise entre 80 et 95 mm à l'âge adulte[2], ce qui donne un animal d'environ 200 mm avec la queue[3]. Cette dernière est fine et préhensile[4].

Les pupilles sont fendues et verticales. Sur la face dorsale du museau, les écailles sont de grande taille, plates et de forme pentagonale[5].

Couleurs

La couleur de base est généralement le vert clair, tirant sur le vert foncé sur le dessus, mais on rencontre également des spécimens plus sombres, tirant sur le marron. Des séries de gros points blancs son présents sur le dos, le long de deux lignes longitudinales.

Étymologie

Cette espèce est nommée en l'honneur du zoologiste anglais John Edward Gray (1800-1875)[6].

Son nom vernaculaire anglais, « Northland green gecko », « Gecko vert du Northland » en français, fait référence à sa couleur principale et à son aire de répartition qui est circonscrite au Northland.

En māori, comme les autres lézards du genre Naultinus, son nom vernaculaire est « kākāriki »[7] ou bien « moko kākāriki »[8]. Moko étant un terme générique désignant un lézard[9] et kākāriki voulant dire « être vert »[10], on pourrait traduire ce nom par « lézard qui est vert » ou bien plus simplement « lézard vert », ce qui rejoint le nom vernaculaire anglais des Naultinus : green tree gecko, « Gecko vert des arbres » en français.

En captivité

Naultinus grayii est une espèce très appréciée en tant que Nouvel Animal de Compagnie (NAC), notamment du fait de ses jolies couleurs et du fait qu'elle soit assez robuste[11].

Cet attrait conduit parfois des individus à tenter faire sortir par contrebande des geckos néo-zélandais de leur pays d'origine, et ce malgré l'interdiction formelle d'exporter ces animaux considérés comme étant sous « protection absolue »[12]. Des spécimens se vendent à des terrariophiles peu scrupuleux au marché noir, notamment en Europe ou des spécimens peuvent se négocier à environ 1000 euros l'unité[13].

북지녹색도마뱀붙이 ( Korean )

provided by wikipedia 한국어 위키백과

북지녹색도마뱀붙이(Naultinus grayii)는 노스랜드 그린 게코(Northland green gecko)나 그레이 트리 게코(Gray's tree gecko)라고도 불리며, 뉴질랜드노스랜드(en:Northland Region), 황가로아(en:Whangaroa) 북쪽 지역에만 서식하는 도마뱀붙이류의 일이다; 도마뱀들 중에서 제일 드문 편이며, 제일 인기가 높다.[2]

분류

북지녹색은 토머스 벨(en:Thomas Bell (zoologist))이 최초로 1843년에 Naultinus grayii로 기술하였다.[2]

어원

종명 grayii영국인 파충류학자 존 에드워드 그레이를 기린 것이다.[3]

형태

 src=
머리

북지녹색의 피부는 선명한 녹색 바탕에 양쪽에 회색, 금색 무늬가 아로새겨져있다. 수컷은 사지 아랫부분을 따라 푸른색 줄무늬가 나있다. 배는 암수가 밝고 창백한 녹색이며, 때때로 노란색을 가미한다. 입 안은 짙은 파란색이며 혓바닥은 밝은 녹색이다.

꼬리까지의 길이는 최대 200mm에, 주둥이-항문 길이(Snout-Vent Length, SVL)는 최대 95mm에 이른다.

습성

북지녹색은 주행성이며, 햇볕을 쬐는 모습이 흔히 발견된다. 수목성(en:arboreal) 생활방식을 따르며, 특히 카누카(:en:Kunzea ericoides), 마누카(:en:Leptospermum scoparium), 밍기밍기(en:mingimingi)를 좋아한다.

보존 상태

12년에 보존부(:en:Department of Conservation (New Zealand))에서 오클랜드녹색을 뉴질랜드멸종위기분류체계(:en:New Zealand Threat Classification System)의 '위험(At Risk)'에 분류하였다. 보존부는 이 녀석들이 감소가 점점 심해지거나 감소가 예상된다는 '위험' 위협 상태 기준을 충족시킨다고 판단하였다. 이 도마뱀붙이류는 '데이터 부족(Data Poor)'으로도 간주된다.[4]

밀수

2001년에 독일의 관광객이 북지녹색을 속옷에 숨겨서 나라 밖으로 밀수하려 한 혐의로 $12,000의 벌금을 선고받았다.[5]
