    Gecko

    Gecko: Geckos are a type of lizard found in warm climates throughout the world. They range from 1.6 to 60 cm. Most geckos cannot blink, however they keep their eyes clean and moist by licking them. They have a fixed lens within each iris that enlarges in darkness to let in more light.
