Geckos are small to middle size lizards. Lizards
are reptiles. There are 1196 different kinds of geckos. They live in many warm
countries. Some kinds of geckos go into people's houses. People are often happy
to have them because geckos eat 38 many insects
Unlike most lizards, geckos have voices. A gecko
sounds a little like a bird or a frog. In some languages these lizards have
names that sound like their calls, for example, both English and Indonesian
call one kind gecko (gek KO) and tokay (to -KAY). Another kind of gecko, with a
different sound, is called chicak (CHEE chak)
Geckos have no eyelids . Instead, they have a clear
membrane (skin) over their eyes. They lick the membrane clean with
theirtongues. Like most lizards, they can regenerate their tail if they need to
Many kinds of geckos can walk on walls,windows and
ceilings. They can do this because they have special toe pads. A microscope can
show that each toe pad is made of
thousands of hair -like structures. Each of these structures branches into many
smaller ends. Answer the questions below based on the text above!
