Description wikipedia

The Wellington green gecko (Naultinus punctatus) is a species of gecko found only in the southern half of the North Island of New Zealand. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Auckland green gecko, and together called the common green gecko. 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.

ko wikipedia
웰링턴녹색도마뱀붙이(Naultinus punctatus)는 웰링턴 그린 게코(Wellington green gecko)라고도 불리며, 뉴질랜드 북섬의 남쪽 반절에만 발견되는 도마뱀붙이류의 일종이다. 이전에는 오클랜드녹색도마뱀붙이와 함께 녹색도마뱀붙이의 아종으로 여겨졌다. 웰링턴녹색은 오클랜드녹색보다 훨씬 크고 튼실하며, 발바닥이 녹회색이 아니라 노란색인 것으로 구별할 수 있다. 수목성(en:Arboreal)이며 덤불, 삼림 영역에, 특히 카누카(:en:Kunzea ericoides)와 마누카(:en:Leptospermum scoparium)에서 살아간다. 밤에 나방과 파리를 사냥하지만, 햇볕을 쬐는 것도 좋아한다. 공격적 행동을 보이며, 입을 크게 벌려 파란색 입속을 한껏 드러내며, 도발당하면 짖는다.
