Geckos can adhere to glass!

Geckos are lizards found in warm climates throughout the world. They range from 1.6 cm to 60 cm. Most geckos cannot blink; therefore, they tend to lick their eyes to keep them humid. They have a fixed lens within each iris that enlarges in darkness.

As mentioned before, most of them lack eyelids, and instead have a transparent membrane, which they lick to clean. Nocturnal species have excellent night vision; their eyes are 350 times more sensitive to light than the human eye.

These creatures are very interesting. One other interesting feature of geckos is that the hair on a gecko’s foot are so tiny that it can form inter-molecular forces of attraction with most surfaces and thus making the gecko adhere even on glass without the use of liquids or surface tension!
