Researchers are using tiny backpacks to keep track of New Zealand's most elusive gecko species.
The northern striped gecko live on Coromandel Peninsula and are so skilled at camouflage, they weren't discovered until 1997.
University of Otago zoologist Dr Jo Monks and masters student Harriet Wills have tracked them for the past few months, by attaching small radio transmitters to their backs.
They discovered the gecko had used their camouflage to hide under foliage and leaf litter, and in trees throughout the forests of the Coromandel Peninsula.
"They're moving well into the forest and what they do when they're up in the dense forest is they spend a lot more time in the canopy, probably to gain the warmth of the sun.
