Flavio Nava, who is from Iloilo City, said he was in Barangay Osman in Malinao, Aklan, in early April, seeking to document an endangered bird species that was once spotted by a netizen there, but chanced upon the reptile instead.
AKLAN, Philippines – A graduating veterinary student at Aklan State University is behind the documentation of the Ati false gecko which led to the confirmation of the reptile’s presence in Panay Island.
Nava contacted expert herpetologist Emerson Sy to help identify the reptile from the photo he took. Sy confirmed that it was the Ati false gecko.
