Gecko Blending Ability

If a typical mature 70 g (2.5 oz) gecko had every one of its setae in contact with a surface, it would be capable of holding aloft a weight of 133 kg (290 lb): each spatula can exert an adhesive force of 10 nanonewtons (0.0010 mgf). Each seta can resist 10 milligrams-force (100 µN), which is equivalent to 10 atmospheres of pull.
Taxonomy and classification
