Gecko

reptiles · climbers · tropical

Wall walkers. Geckos can climb smooth surfaces and even scurry across ceilings, thanks to their amazing sticky toes.

Almost everywhere. Geckos live on every continent except Antarctica, mostly in warm climates.

Tiny to big. Geckos range from about 1.6 centimeters to 67 centimeters long, so some are smaller than your finger!

Bug hunters. Most geckos are carnivores, snacking on insects and other small creatures.
