Wellington green gecko : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wellington green gecko
The Wellington green gecko, ''Naultinus elegans punctatus'', is a subspecies of gecko found only in the southern half of the North Island of New Zealand. The other subspecies, the Auckland green gecko, is found in the northern half of the North Island (except north of Whangaroa) and the two ranges do not overlap. The Wellington green gecko is much larger and more heavily built than the Auckland green gecko and can be distinguished by the yellow soles on its feet instead of grey-green. It lives arboreally in scrub and forest areas, especially kanuka and manuka. Although it hunts nocturnally, for moths and flies, it also likes to sun-bask. It displays an aggressive behaviour, baring its open blue mouth and barking if provoked. == Conservation status == In 2012 the Department of Conservation classified the Wellington 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''.〔
