What makes Geckos special?

  • Geckos eyes are large to see in the dark.
  • They can lose their tail when they are attacked and grow a new tail later.
  • They have soft skin.
  • Their skin is so thin you can sometimes see into the body.
  • They have no eyelids.
  • They have claws or pads on their toes or sometimes both. The pads are not sticky. The pads have tiny hairy scales that can hook onto the smallest bumps on a flat wall.
  • They can make noises like barking. No other lizards have voices.
