Hemidactylus turcicus Explanation: That's the scientific name of the animal. It's a tiny little lizard actually. What your friend wrote means "there's no such entry in the dictionary". I don't blame him! HTH, Alex Seidanis Reference: http://www.ekpaz.gr/articles/pan/reptiles.html Reference: http://www.mani.org.gr/kofinas/images/spilaia2/samiamidi.JPG |
