Gecko: Difference between revisions

Geckos are basically small lizards. They chirp at each other to communicate over distances. As you will find, a gecko's most important characteristic at this time is its amazing footpads. They have attracted a lot of attention to the gecko at this time in history, due to the amazing qualities that the foot posseses. Gecko's can easily climb onto walls and non-horizontal surfaces without the use of either water or suction cups. They move due to a special theory called "van der Waals interactions".  

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. [http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/2099]

Snakes (carnivorous reptiles that survive off of small rodents, amphibian, fish, and eggs) attack by means of poisonous fangs, constriction, or swallowing their prey whole) are geckos' main predators. When a gecko is caught by its tail, it releases the tail, which twitches for a while, allowing the gecko to escape capture. The gecko can regenerate it's tail again after time.  

 

Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). They eat rodents and other mammals, birds, reptiles, fish,amphibians, insects, and eggs. Some snakes (like cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes) are venomous and kill (or paralyze) their prey by injecting poison through hollow fangs. Some snakes (like boas and the anaconda) kill their prey by squeezing it to death. Snakes do not chew their food or even bite it into pieces; snakes swallow their food whole. Other snakes just catch their food and swallow it.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko]
