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.

Another wonder is the geckos tail, 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). Some species have tails that shoot poisonous liquids out of the ends.
