gecko

A handful of small, nocturnal geckos have spilled their guts for science, revealing how the creatures get by in a part of Earth’s hottest landscape.

Instead of being all metal all the way through, this robot hand has semi-squishy fingertips, and each finger pad surface is made from a film of gecko adhesive supported by a rubber bone-like structure underneath.

Stanford engineers hope to solve this problem with a new robotic hand designed with finger pads that can grip like a gecko.

Now, genetically modified stem cells are helping geckos grow back better tails.

Unique skin patterns inspired names for some of the other newly described gecko species.

Locally this gecko is known as escorpin; the natives believe it to be deadly poisonous.

Another quaint lizard, was what is generally known as the gecko.

Although I am very fond of the nimble little gecko, I must admit that he is an out-and-out glutton.

The lachrymal duct first appears in the tailed amphibians; in snakes and gecko lizards, however, it opens into the mouth.

The cry of the small house lizard, a kind of gecko, is unlucky in certain conditions.
