  2. Gecko feet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_feet

    The interactions between the gecko's feet and the climbing surface are stronger than simple surface area effects. On its feet, the gecko has many microscopic hairs, or setae (singular seta), arranged into lamellae that increase the Van der Waals forces - the distance-dependent attraction between atoms or molecules - between its feet and the surface.

  4. Gecko - Wikipedia

    The gecko eye, therefore, modified its cone cells that increased in size into different types, both single and double. Three different photo-pigments have been retained, and are sensitive to ultraviolet, blue, and green. They also use a multifocal optical system that allows them to generate a sharp image for at least two different depths.

  5. Digitigrade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitigrade

    Digitigrade and unguligrade animals have relatively long carpals and tarsals, and the bones which correspond to the human ankle are thus set much higher in the limb than in a human. In a digitigrade animal, this effectively lengthens the foot, so much so that what are often thought of as a digitigrade animal's "hands" and "feet" correspond to ...

  6. Heteronotia binoei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteronotia_binoei

    The Bynoe's gecko is a slender, long-tailed species which may grow to a total length (including tail) of 11–12 cm (4.3–4.7 in). It is covered with small scales which appear to be rough, but are soft to touch. [6] It has slim toes which end with strong claws, but unlike many other gecko species, it does not have expandable toe pads.

  7. Gehyra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehyra

    Gehyra species have toepads and powerful claws. Like some other geckos, they have a tendency to drop strips of skin if handled carelessly. Similar to house geckos, dtellas are able to communicate with clicks or chirps, although their chirp is often quieter than that of house geckos.

  8. Carphodactylidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carphodactylidae

    Many have unusual, specialized tails with reduced rates of autotomy. They lack adhesive toepads and instead cling to bark or substrate with sharply curved claws and a limited array of lamellae. Carphodactylids are relatively large by gecko standards; most are nocturnal and all are oviparous, with a typical clutch size of two eggs. Unlike most ...

  9. Crenadactylus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crenadactylus

    [1] Consideration of Crenadactylus as a single species, Crenadactylus ocellatus, was also recognised by various authorities as three to four subspecies. [3] [6] However, molecular evidence revealed the phylogeny of the genus indicated numerous 'hidden species', and a revision in 2016 of accepted and new descriptions recognised a total of seven ...
