A "Gekko" is a type of lizard belonging to the family Gekkonidae. These reptiles are known for their unique ability to climb smooth surfaces and even walk on ceilings, thanks to specialized toe pads that allow them to adhere to various surfaces. Gekkos are found in warm climates around the world and are often recognized by their distinctive vocalizations, which can include chirps and clicks. Gekkos come in various sizes and colors, with some species exhibiting bright patterns for camouflage or communication. They primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates, playing a vital role in controlling pest populations in their ecosystems.
