\nNatural habitat: <\/strong>warmer parts of the world including rocky deserts, mountains, jungles, rainforests, grasslands, and some urban areas<\/p>\n
\nSpecies count:<\/strong> over 1,500 worldwide
\nSize:<\/strong> typically range from 1.6 to 60 cm
\nDiet: <\/strong>primarily insects and worms
\nFun facts: <\/strong>Don\u2019t expect a wink from these little guys. Most geckos cannot blink. So how do they keep their peepers clean and moist, anyway? By licking them, which is equal parts cool and gross.
\nGeckos typically replace each of their 100 teeth every three to four months, equaling a LOT of visits from the tooth fairy.
\nSelf-amputating your tail sucks, but it\u2019s better than being a bigger animal\u2019s lunch. When defending itself against a predator, a gecko can shed its tail and make a run for it.
