Gecko Sounds 1.4

The gecko, classified under the suborder Gekkota, encompasses more than 1,000 species distributed across six families. Characteristically, geckos are small, primarily nocturnal reptiles that exhibit soft skin. They possess a short, stout body, a large head, and typically well-developed limbs, with digits at the ends of their limbs featuring adhesive pads that enhance their climbing abilities.

Most gecko species range in size from 3 to 15 cm (1.2 to 6 inches) in length, which includes the tail that comprises approximately half of the total length. Remarkably adaptable, they thrive in various habitats, from arid deserts to dense jungles. While many species can be found in close proximity to human dwellings, their diet predominantly consists of insects.
