Hello!
Who are you?
I'm a gecko.
Geckos are colorful lizards.
Where do you live?
Geckos live all over the world.
We like rain forests and deserts.
But some geckos live in cold places.
What do you eat?
Geckos eat lots of insects.
We also like fruit and flower nectar.
Your tail is cool!
Our tails help us climb.
And they protect us from enemies.
How do your tails protect you?
Sometimes enemies grab our tails.
We break off our tails to escape.
They grow back quickly.
Do geckos make sounds?
Yes. Many lizards hiss.
But geckos also click and chirp.
We can even bark!
You have cute little toes!
We have pads on our toes.
The pads are sticky.
That helps us climb—and stick to things.
I see a tasty cricket.
See you later.
Good-bye, Gecko!
