Dancing Gecko Lizard

Adhesion Ability
The toes of the gecko have a special adaptation that allows them to adhere to most surfaces without the use of liquids or surface tension. The spatula tipped setae on gecko footpads allow attractive forces called capillary forces to arise between the adhesive setae and the surface.
One study suggested that capillary adhesion might play a role, but that hypothesis has been rejected by more recent studies.
