Gekkonidae, commonly known as geckos, are a diverse and fascinating family of lizards found in various parts of the world. One remarkable species is the Ptychozoon kohli, also known as the flying gecko. With its unique ability to glide through the air using flaps of skin on its body, this gecko is truly a marvel of nature. In Majorca, Spain, we can find another member of the Gekkonidae family - the Wall Gecko (Tarentola mauritanica). This small reptile has adapted well to urban environments and can often be seen climbing walls and hunting insects under streetlights. The incredible capabilities of geckos extend even to their feet. A close-up view of a Gecko foot under an SEM microscope reveals intricate structures that allow them to effortlessly cling onto surfaces with exceptional grip. Traveling across continents brings us to Santa Catalina Island in Mexico's Loreto Bay National Park. Here we encounter the Santa Catalina Island leaf-toed gecko (Phyllodactylus bugastrolepis) basking in front of Mexican giant cardon cactuses. The vibrant colors and contrasting textures create a stunning scene against the backdrop of sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Moving further into Australia's arid regions, we come across the Smooth knob-tailed gecko (Nephrurus levis occidentalis). Its portrait showcases its distinctive features such as large eyes and textured skin that aid in camouflage within its desert habitat. Venturing into India's forests leads us to discover the Deccan ground gecko (Cyrtodactylus albofasciatus) gracefully positioned on a forest floor illuminated by water droplets. This enchanting sight highlights how these creatures adapt seamlessly to their surroundings while utilizing natural elements for survival. Hong Kong's Shek Pik on Lantau Island introduces us to yet another member of the Gekkonidae family.
