Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil

When I was just a kid, I started learning german. My entire life I've been surrounded by german words, traditions and of course, songs.

The other day I was looking for old Christmas songs I learned in german class, but I got this.

Such a cutie!

And even though you may not understand the lyrics, the kid who sang the song is so sweet, it's almost unbearable!

But I think that I had seen that croco-face before... Oh look!

Looking closer, it isn't in fact Schnappi, but a "Gomero Wall Gecko" (from the Island of La Gomera -Canary Islands- of course). It was kind enough to pose for me, he he he.

The Gomero Wall Geckos are harmless and very helpful, because they eat the bad mosquitoes (extremely helpful in the summertime).
