Both geckos were fully grown when they were marked – so they could be even older than the 60 and 64 years recorded. That’s far older than the average lifespan of geckos worldwide, at only ...

Geckos are a type of lizard. Though there are about 1,500 species of geckos, they all have some similarities, including amazing tails, a simple diet and hairy skin. One thing they don't have in ...

The geckos' latest space quest began July 18, when the Russian space agency Roscosmos launched a capsule with five of the lizards and several other experiments into space for a two-month mission.

Geckos can even cling to surfaces that are completely smooth, and we're talking smooth down to the molecular scale. To figure out what's going on, we're going to need to look closer.

Geckos are masters of balance and can cling to walls with the sticky hairs that line their feet and toe pads. Internally, they use the saccule , which can detect faint vibrations that range from ...

Geckos can use their tongue to differentiate their own odor from that of other members of their species, as researchers have shown in a new experimental study. The findings show that geckos are ...
