This photo provided by the San Diego Zoo shows the zoo's first baby of the year, a satanic leaf-tailed gecko hatchling, walking on a leaf on January 3, 2011. The New Year's Day gecko has a sibling that hatched on December 26, 2010, but keepers do not yet know the sex of the younger geckos. The San Diego Zoo is one of only seven zoos in the United States with this species in its collection and one of only two breeding them. Reptile keepers were thrilled with the hatching of the gecko, which weighs less than a gram and is smaller than a dime. It has a number 911001, but no name. "It's wonderful to be able to highlight this rarely bred creature," said San Diego Zoo Animal Care Manager John Kinkaid. The San Diego Zoo has two male, three female and three young satanic leaf-tailed geckos in its collection. The satanic leaf-tailed gecko Uroplatus phantasticus, also known as the eyelash leaf-tailed gecko or fantastic leaf-tailed gecko, is native to Madagascar. It has the smallest body of any of leaf-tailed gecko species. AFP PHOTO/San Diego Zoo/Ken Bohn/HO
Tzvika, an injured female turtle, walks with the aid of her newly attached wheels at the Wildlife Hospital in the Ramat Gan Safari near Tel Aviv January 5, 2011. About two months ago, Tzvika was run over by a lawn mower and suffered severe damage to her shell, and a spinal injury that affected her ability to use her rear limbs. The wheels, attached by veterinarians at the safari, elevate the turtle to keep the shell from being worn down and enable her to walk. REUTERS/Nir Elias
