Israel 2010 The Illusive Israeli Porcupine

Tonight, we took a drive in search of the Israeli porcupine. They are bigger than most, and I just had to see for myself. My husband had seen them three different time. I had questioned this, seeing how most internet sites list them as unlikely to site. He wanted to show me. While we drove quite a ways, past Gaza and towards Egypt, I saw camel crossing signs, no camels crossing, and definately no porcupines, the best I could do was come across this gecko. Sitting on sandstone colored cement mud, his coloring was less than desirable, but as tiny as he was, a little over an inch, I can say he was at least "cute."
