What are the characteristic of lizard?

Answer 1

Typically, a long slender body with a medium - long tail. The tails are prehensile, meaning their tails act as a 5th limb. or in other cases, the tails are used for storing fats. Most gecko species are equipped with 5 nails allowing them to scale rocky surfaces and or trees. In other cases, they have the ability to scale a vertical surface with sticky pads on their feet, known as lamalee. Most range from 6-12 inches in length (with tail) and weigh from 5Grams - 700Grams depending on species. Most geckos have a strong jaw for crunching down in the exo skeleton of insects. Most geckos are very bright in color and they are the only reptile specie able to vocalize for multiple purposes: Mating, threats, socializing etc..

Answer 2

Most lack movable eyelids and have characteristic pads on the undersides of their feet that enable them to cling to smooth surfaces and to run upside down on ceilings. The pads contain microscopic backward-projecting hairs covered by tiny pads that may generate an adhesive force. And don't forget that they are pretty awesome! ;)

Some gecko species are nocturnal while others are diurnal. they have many different ways of climbing; some have claws for scaling rocky surfaces or life in a cave, while others have setae on their feet, which allow them to scale flat surfaces such as glass. Some gecko species have close able eye lids, while others have a clear membrane casing their eyes called brine. Geckos with eyelids are able to close their eyes while digging through soil and burrowing to cool off and geckos with brines are able to have their eyes open at all times to see oncoming predators. These brines also have the ability to reflect water. Geckos are also able to vocalize, enabling them to ward off predators, find a mate and even show affection. Geckos have many characteristics to ensure their survival in the wild. These are only some.
