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.

Geckos live in many different habitats, due to their overwhelming variety. For example, the House Gecko has been bread to survive in incredibly warm and moist climates. Despite it's name, this animal is fairly small and lighter colored. | Geckos live in many different habitats, due to their overwhelming variety.
