Species of day gecko do not have sharp claws or big teeth to defend or protect themselves. Instead, species of day geckos have speed and agility. They have setae on the bottom of their toes which allows them to climb almost any natural surface. When in a desperate situation a day gecko has the ability to "drop" their tails. Meaning the nerve endings in their tail splits from the base and it falls off. They do this when being grabbed or held by the tail as a last form of escape. Naturally, their tails will grow back and return to normal colour in a few months.
Round Island day gecko was created in 1885.
It runs.
Round Island, in the Indian Ocean. This species is also known from fossils on Mauritius.
they have flat feet that are stickey
When rabbits and goats were brought to Round Island in the 1800s, they ate all the forests and the geckos had nowhere to live.
Their teeth are tough and strong!
Round Island Day Gecko feet is adapted to where they live because they live in a wet , cold area , and there feet is furry and it keep them unwet and dry.
They adapted to what they eat because their teeth get really tough and strong

their tail drops of, hopefully the enemy would pay attention to the tail while the gecko escapes. The tail heals quickly so they grow a new one.
As all geckos do, they have the ability to "drop their tail" meaning the cartalage at the base of their tails can contract and the tail can detach from the body. This will give the gecko a couple extra seconds to get away from harms reach. A few seconds is all a gecko usually needs to find it's self deep in brush.
I assume you mean Gunther's gecko? The temperature there is typically 20-30 plus degrees in 'winter' and 26-over 40 degrees in the 'summer'. It can be very dry there, typically of tropical island climates, with heavy rainfall more common in the months of December through to February (summer). I hope this was helpful.
