Geckos decided they were going to be different from all other lizards by developing specialized features that gave them a leg up in the survival business. These include eyes that can see in low light so they can hunt at night, hydrophobic skin so they don't catch their death of cold, and strangely detachable tails, not to mention feet that have velcro on the ends.
Most of those powers required some explanation of physics, which geckos have mastered. It's no wonder they are often studied by scientists. These studies include putting geckos in a wind tunnel, which may seem cruel, but it's also quite funny, and the geckos didn't seem to come out any worse for wear. Ze Frank gives geckos his usual "education with some snarky giggles" treatment in the latest video in his True Facts series. At least he doesn't obsess on the animal's sex life in this installment.
