Gecko – Kakariki
The gecko is fascinating. It has ‘sticky feet’. Their toes are covered with microscopic hairs allowing them to walk upside down on ceilings. Geckos can ‘drop’ their tails.
Muscles in the tail twitch causing the tail to look as if it’s thrashing wildly. This diversion allows the gecko a chance to escape. Did you know gecko’s can’t blink! They have a transparent scale covering their eye. If their eyes get dirty they lick them with their tongue.
