Lizard 

(Go Go Sadie) - Lorenzo the Lizard (Coleonyx mitratus)There are about 900 species of geckos, ranging in size from 1 inch to 14 inches. Geckos come in various patterns and colors such as purple, pink, blue, and black. Geckos are among the most colorful lizards in the world.Geckos are able to run up walls, trees and leaves, no matter how smooth or vertical. Millions of microscopic adhesive hairs on the bottoms of their feet; this means a gecko can support about eight times its weight hanging from just one toe on smooth glass. Geckos' toes seem to be "double jointed", but this is a misnomer. Their toes actually bend in the opposite direction from our fingers and toes.Most geckos cannot close their eyes. Like most lizards, the gecko uses its tail to hold food’s nutrition. However, if trapped, it has the ability to break it off, escape, and grow another. Foods for the geckos range from small baby crickets, roaches, worms, and many have a sweet tooth and like fresh fruits and honeyGeckos are the only lizards that can vocalize; they squawk, chirp and whistle, sometimes to attract a mate, claim their territory or show that they're distressed. Some geckos rub their scales together to imitate poisonous snakes and scare away potential predators.Camouflage is among a gecko's best traits for survival.
By day the Central American gecko prefers to hide in a burrow in the soil. They emerge at dusk to forage for insects that make up the vast majority of their diet.
