Unsettling and almost otherworldly, the gaze of these creatures seems to pierce right through your soul. Their eyes hold millions of years of evolutionary history, offering a rare glimpse into how different species adapted over time. Professional wildlife photographer Daniel Heuclin travels the globe capturing striking close-ups of tropical frogs and lizards staring straight into his lens. 
Heuclin was captivated by the extraordinary diversity of species he encountered along the way. This shot happens to be his personal favorite.
“The sheer detail and palette of colors packed into such a tiny space is just mind-blowing,” he said of this close-up of a wild chameleon's eye in Madagascar.
