The sounds of a Tokay Gecko making loud calls at night in Thailand's rainforest. Unlike most lizards, geckos can be quite vocal and depending on the species make a range of different sounds. The call of the Tokay Gecko is a particularly good example! This sound has no doubt startled many a sleeping backpacker in South-east Asia! Their explosive series of 'to-kay' croaks are especially loud at 3am perched on a bedroom wall a couple of metres from your head!
The Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) is a very large, colourful species of gecko found throughout South-east Asia as well as Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and parts of north-east India. The natural habitat of this species is rainforest, but it adapts well to disturbed environments and is commonly found in buildings in villages and towns within its range. This species is known as 'Tắc Kè' in Vietnam.
The audio in this video was recorded in Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand.
