The Giant bronze gecko (Ailuronyx trachygaster) is a enigmatic species rarely seen due to its preference for remaining high above the ground, and also because of its sandy-bronze colouration, which camouflages it against the stems and branches of its preferred tree, the coco-de-mer palm (Lodoicea maldivica) endemic to the Seychelles islands. Its area of occupancy is 13 km² and it is known from only two locations.
