The Leaf -tailed Gecko of Madagascar is incredibly difficult to spot against the background of a tree trunk and you will walk past ten times before you see it. But when you do and you get a little too close, be prepared for a shock. It will flare its jaws displaying the remarkably red interior to warn off potential predators.

But more importantly we also cover the aspects of managing conflict and aggression and resolving it. On our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop, we look at the different in body language and in aggressive behaviour patterns, as well as emphasising the benefits of good communication.
