On September 15, 1835, Charles Darwin arrived at the Galapagos Islands aboard the HMS Beagle. He cataloged many unique species, paving the way for evolutionary science. Imagine a “one-of-a-kind” animal: the Luminescent Gecko, which glows softly at night, showcasing vibrant patterns. This small reptile has a unique ability to change colors based on its mood, making it an intriguing specimen.
