 HUMAN IMPACT

Anthropogenic activities could

interfere with the survival of Leopard
Geckos. In a related study stated in an
article from The Conversation (2017),
changes in the head and mouth size of
geckos were observed in areas mostly
affiliated with flooding. This occurrence
was brought about by the extinction of
four other species of lizard in that certain
area.
