Geckos have small round bodies, with two pairs of legs. Each of the four legs has three toes. These "toes" are a wonder of science. Each pad has thousands of small setae attached to the bottom surface of the foot. These attach to virtually any surface using a theory called van der Waals interactions. Though this theory emphasizes force of liquids, the geckos foot needs no liquids of any kind to adhere to surfaces. | Geckos have small round bodies, with two pairs of legs.

Another wonder is the geckos tail. On some species such as the _____, the tail is used to store fat the gecko builds up. it can then burn that fat when needed without carrying it on their bodies (or torsos). | |||
