Biologists discovered the Valparai dwarf gecko high above sea level in the Valparai Plateau. This new species is one of five geckos from the same ancestor, each adapting to specific habitats within India's tropical evergreen forests.
The Valparai dwarf gecko represents extreme micro-endemism, evolving to fit niche habitats. DNA analysis revealed significant genetic differences from other gecko species in the region, despite sharing common ancestry.
