Gecko

Gecko Gloves Many children dream of being a superhero and climbing walls, however this idea may seem too far fetched for any human to accomplish; or is it? The gecko gloves are an astounding new development in the technological field that allows humans to climb walls with ease. Most of the development is for the movies and the military, however some variations are being dispersed for public usage. These variations will contain many of the same aspects as the original, however, the variation will be adapted for the civilian population. These gloves weather or not people support them, are undeniably essential to the ever growing industry of technology and manufacturing. Gecko gloves were developed by Elliot Hawkes from Stanford University,…

See geckos and other new babies in Prague ZOO This year, already nine hundred animals have been born in the Prague ZOO. The most recent ones, four gecko babies, are literally a wonder. These four miraculous reptiles helped to variegate the ZOO´s population, together with, for example, a baby giraffe, young vultures, a gorilla cub or a hippo calf. The baby reptiles are a genus of geckos, often referred to as “wonder geckos” (Teratoscincus scincus scincus). And what makes them so miraculous?…

Do Velvet Gecko (Oedura lesueurii) Exhibit Specialized or Generalized Anti-Snake Behavior? The main question this study asked was do velvet geckos discriminate amongst snake species and display antipredator behaviors according to the ‘threat sensitivity’ hypothesis (i.e. in a graded fashion depending upon the degree of threat posed by a particular snake species)? The authors hypothesized that velvet geckos should display general antipredator behaviors to the scent of syntopic elapid snakes,…

Though a popular ‘starter pet’ many people do not know much about leopard geckos. These reptiles are unusual in the fact that they have eyelids, which is almost unheard of in geckos. They also boast a rather hefty lifespan, with the ability to live for 20-30 years with proper care. The oldest recorded leopard gecko lived to be 31 years old. A close relative of the ‘leo’ is the African fat tailed gecko. These geckos generally only survive to 20 years old. African fat tails can vocalise by…

Gecko Lizards have undergone an interesting history as they evolved from their reptilian ancestors. As Gecko lizards are the most unique in all of the lizard ecosystem , due to them being most smallest. Gecko have a special ability to walk up vertical surfaces such as, smooth glass. As throughout my essay i'll be talking about their ancestors, life cycle, Which of them were the first lizards. Geckos lizards have many adaptations as well as so many unique features, such as the tiny hairs they…

From the three biomimicry technologies currently in progress of being developed, my favorite is the Gecko Gripper because of its high efficiency potential. First, it makes the problem of astronauts trying to stick items together a lot easier. Currently, they use Velcro which has many problems such as needing both sides to have Velcro in order to stick and loose fibers creating debris in space. The Gecko Gripper would be able to stick to any hard surface regardless of the material and uses Van…

Since my family has decided it is a good time to get a pet, I believe that we should consider our options carefully before we commit to adopting our new family member. Our choice is between a guinea pig and a gecko. A pet is a long term commitment and I believe we should make our decision thoughtfully. Both animals must be fed, watered and be kept clean. In addition you must make sure that your gecko stays warm because they are cold-blooded. I believe we should get a guinea pig because they are…
